Look again. S/G 00 gets the *entire* argument, "vpPathway vpText".
To get "vpText" into a separate S/G, you have to parse 00:

At this point you have:

01: vpPathway vpText
02: {space}
03: vpPathway
04: {space}
05: vpText

If you're running Xy4 or later, >>
puts "vpPathway" into 01 and "vpText" into 02.
