Thanks Chris.
I think I also made the mistake of first trying to build a list, then filtering it. You can’t filter lists, can you:
set l to {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
get every item of l where...
Since didn’t work, I did it the hard way.
Once I’d taken the wrong road, alternative routes became harder to see!
