Michael,
Thanks. Yes, that works, but it doesn't answer the original question.
I was looking for the correct syntax to retrieve, from a record that has a property called "text", the value of that property.
While it is true that I can get that value using your code, I am also curious to know how do do it from the record provided by "TextCommands". I need to know this because I want to have both the starting and ending offsets of the text as well as the text itself and want to process it in a single command. The text is already in the record (it displays in the events log), so now I just need to know to extract it from that record.
This has both a practical and academic purpose for me. I learn from this so I will know how to do it in the future.

This works, except for (item row of y).
