Thanks Kay,
For some reason, neither focusIn nor focusOut works.
I can get what I want with openField but I haven't found anything that works
when the focus is no longer on the field; focusOut doesn't work and neither
does closeField (because closeField only works if the user changed the
contents of the field)
So I'm just here tearing my hair out!

Maybe the focusIn messgae might help.

Hello,
I have several fields... myField1, myField2, etc.
When the user clicks within a field, I want to detect the (?? selection,
insertion ??) and run a script.
I've experimented for over an hour with no luck.
The only thing I found that sort of works is:
on mouseEnter
do stuff
end mouseEnter
The problem with that is that one of the things I want to do is change
the color of the field while the script is doing stuff and only change
back to the original color when the stuff is finished, and not when the
mouse leaves. It is too clunky to require the user to leave the mouse in
the field while the stuff is being done.
I hope that makes sense.
Thanks for any help.
Larry
