Try this:

on mouseup
  repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines in fld "test"
    if last char of x is in "02468" then set the backcolor of line x of fld 
"test" to "218,255,255"
  end repeat
end mouseup

For these even colored lines, you'll have to type spaces all the way to the 
end of the line, because as soon as there is no text, the backcolor stops.

Hope this helps
