Further to this matter
I had realized that the fact that the keys were in Quotes in jsonURL meant that
it wasn’t really a Dictionary, but thought there might be some simple way to
change it, so posted.
But, no fast answers, so after thinking, wrote the following Script 1
However, it’s not recognized still as a Dictionary, and I don’t know why. If I
take the EXACT list, and use it in Script 2, it works fine.
There’s obviously something I’m missing, but I thought coercing temp to a list
would fix any hassles.
BTW, I’ve tried stripping the square brackets as text item delimiters, but it
fails.
Anybody able to set me straight, please?

Santa
