Fascinating.
These two scripts do very different things. Colin, have you known about this since HC days? on mouseup put the selectedLine into temp do "put X after" && temp end mouseup on mouseup put "X" after the selectedLine end mouseup And which is the selectedLine in a locked field that has no selection? Is this implied as the clickLine? Never knew that...

Lock the text of your field, and try this script: on mouseup put "bla" after the selectedline end mouseup then click on line 1. Where does the text appear? On Aug 14, 2011, at 1:25 PM, J.
