No, it /was/ random, or at least uninformed. RECORDS.source /does/
have .stdWrap properties, but you also have to check into what kind of
information the object is expecting to receive. The TSref [1] says
that the .source property of RECORDS is a

"List of record-id's, optionally with appended table-names."

Knowing this, there is no way that "lib.contentGoesHere.source.field =
bodytext" could provide any meaningful information to the RECORDS
object. That's why both Tyler and I pointed out that your TS syntax
could not possibly work.
