Field Losing Focus? - Correction

[Ken Ray]

My mistake... I checked my original scripts and they don't work. You can't
get a mouseUp when the field is open, so you need to use mouseLeave; word 2
of the selectedChunk doesn't work properly - you need to use word 4; and I
used the wrong syntax for setting a custom property.  Here's the script that
works:

 -- Field 1 Script
 on mouseUp
   set the selChar of me to word 4 of (the selectedChunk)
 end mouseUp

 -- Button Script
 on mouseUp
   put the hilitedText of field 2 after char (the selChar of fld 1) of fld 1
 end mouseUp

Sorry about that...
