I forgot to acknowledge help from Dave Cragg. The handler below is 
from Dave and is a wonderful tutorial for anyone interested in 
getting info from a web site with data to be filed in. Just run this 
on a card with one field and you will see the full 9 digit zip  code 
for the address: 123 Broad St, 95959


on mouseUp
    put empty into field 1

    put "Selection=" & 1 after tQuery
    put "&" after tQuery
    put "address1=" & urlEncode("123 BROAD ST") after tQuery
    put "&" after tQuery
    put "zipcode=" & 95959 after tQuery

    put  "http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/zip4_responseA.jsp" into tUrl

    post tQuery to url tUrl
    if the result <> empty then
      answer the result
    else
      set the htmltext of field 1 to  it
    end if

end mouseUp
