I' surprised at how slow this is--I can type fast enough to foul it.
American social security numbers have nine digits, with a dash after
the third and fifth.
I attached this to a field to handle it automatically
on keyUp theKey
if the length of me = 3 or the length of me=6 then put "-" after me
if theKey is among the chars of "0123456789" then
pass keyup
else
beep
end if
end keyUp
If I blast a bunch of numbers on the keyboard at once, I get extra
numbers before the hyphens: right now it shows 873124-6758021394
