How Do I Select Text in a Field?

[Gardner, Joseph A]

I know I'm missing something simple here...

I have a very simple field that contains text. lockText is false and traversalOn is true. But when I select any text in the field it doesn't stay selected. The highlighted text immediately reverts to unselected text and the cursor moves to the top left corner of the field (before the first character) when I release the mouse. Is there any other property that I need to set to allow text selection?
