Graham, Set the traversalon to false in preOpenCard (or better yet, when you build the standalone). et the traversalOn to true in a mouseUp handler and select the text of your field to make the keyboard appear. Still better would be to use native text fields, which would allow you to keep traversalOn false at all times.
