What's different in the file you have versus the one they have?

But you didn't actually try the message box.

What do you mean by "split it apart"?

So, you say that this fails:

     ba="(brw=10 xkey=xdeu show=pkeep prc=nocard fill=desc,top)"
     bb="[\b5 Master Code    Tp Last Four    Expires \a-]"
     bc="*3<16    *5  XXXX*18      *6"
     lookup card = l_card  k=4    i=B -nxm b=(ba&bb&bc)

But this works:

     h="(brw=10 xkey=xdeu show=pkeep prc=nocard fill=desc,top)"
     i="[\b5 Master Code    Tp Last Four    Expires \a-]"
     j="*3<16    *5  XXXX*18      *6"
     lookup card = l_card  k=4    i=B -nxm b=(h&i&j)

With nothing else in the processing being changed?

In that case, something is different between the definitions of ba/bb/bc and 
h/i/j.

However, you say that you "split it apart" when you changed it to h/i/j. 
Can you show the actual code that "works"?
