This will be a problem: offset("-",me) will evaluate to a number but the "if"
statement is looking for a boolean.

Here's what I use:
on keyDown x
if x is not in "0123456789" then
beep
exit keyDown
end if
if the number of chars of me is among the items of "3,7" then
put "-" after me
end if
pass keydown
end keyDown
