Quiz - access with an expression

[Richard Witkopp]

Thanks, that was it. I had only tried parens around the first segment, not
all of them.

Looking through some of our old quiz code, you might try:

access a link (getsystemvalue("index_value",sym), field2 of a) to
field1,
field2 of b

(note extra parens)

In the old chicken and egg scenario, e.g. you can't DEFINE an item to be
used in an ACCESS statement, I could have sworn you could put in
something
like a GETSYSTEMVALUE statement in the linkage. Similar to:

access a link getsystemvalue("index_value",sym), field2 of a to field1,
field2 of b

I can't find any such mention in the manual or my old dusty copy of
Directions '93. Either I was imagining it or I just have the syntax
wrong.
