Ray,
If you reverse the order of the if statement inputs then it works. I'm not
sure why and don't really understand the error message. Using brackets ()
didn't seem to help. I like your project idea.

ifelse identical?  first pagelist "page1[show "y][show "n]
n
ifelse identical?  (first pagelist) "page1[show "y][show "n]
n
ifelse identical? "page1 first pagelist [show "y][show "n]
y

That would have to be a bug in MW, wouldn't it?

to words
if equal? "page1 first pagelist
[
make "t1words [You are great!]
make "t2words [I don't feel like talking]
]
if  "page2 = first pagelist
[
make "t1words [I am happy!]
make "t2words [Don't touch me!]
]
end
