David,
I rewrite the script:

on mouseUp
   put the selectedText into vLine -- saving the text
   ask "How many?" with "1"
   put it into vNumber
   select vLine -- select  the text in the Text Field again. Don't seems 
to work
   put tab & vNumber after the last word of the selectedText
end mouseUp

This time (at least) there is another error:

Chunk: error in object expression
--------------------
select vLine
--------------------



Jeanne,
I get the old error (Chunk: no target found) when trying this:

on mouseUp
     ask "How many?"
     if it is not empty then put tab & it after the selectedLine
   end mouseUp


Thanks
