Jeanne,
This didn't work (it still toggled the cursor from pane to pane). For one 
thing, the laptops only have an Enter key, not a Return key, so I'd think 
the ReturnInField handler would never get executed. In addition, there's 
already a On EnterInField handler in the Message Box script. It reads:
On EnterInField
  revExecuteMessage
End EnterInField
So this handler (revExecuteMessage) should be getting executed anyway. 
Unfortunately, I have had time to go through revExecuteMessage to see 
what's going on. But I just wanted to give you this heads up.
Regards,
Howard Bornstein
