note: this is the hard way, with datagramm sockets its way simpler, but 
that's the way i would do it :)

--server button:
on mouseUp
   accept connections on port "8181" with message "incomming"
end mouseUp

on incomming remoteIP
   read from socket remoteIP until return with message "gotOne"
end incomming

on gotOne remoteIP theMessage
   put theMessage  into field "Your field here"
   close socket remoteIP
end gotOne

--client field:
on returnInfield
   open socket "localhost:8181" with message "contacted"
end returninfield

on contacted theIP
   write the text of me & return to socket theIP
end contacted
