David,

I really don't know how you manage to respond to SO many questions, write
code, work, AND get a hyper 2 year old to bed, but THANKS!  It's a good
thing for a lot of us that you don't also need to sleep! :)

Your suggestion to use:
"setText(Label1, this[1..length(this)-1] & "times ")" to allow displaying
the concatenation of a list item ("this")and quoted text in a label worked
in my program.

  Wolfgang Fritz also suggested the same solution (thanks Wolfgang!), and I
think you had mentioned the possible nature of the problem in an earlier
post, but until I read your last post I had no idea where an extraneous
character could be coming from, so thanks again for both the fix AND the
explanation.

Maybe getItem could be fixed to not pass that trailing "0"?
