Mirroring Text Entry

[Sarah Reichelt]

Hi Joe,
The easiest way is probably to use a keyUp handler in the original 
field, like this:

on keyUp
   put me into fld "Mirror"
   pass keyUp   -- just in case it is used elsewhere
end keyUp

closeField only happens when a field is changed AND when you tab or 
click out of the field. The keyUp handler will happen whenever you do a 
keystroke, so the mirroring will be instant.

Cheers,
Sarah
