Hi Ban and others who replied,

In a scrolling list field, line selection is automated at mouseDown  
by the engine.
So one single line in both scripts is enough (without using global,  
value function or anything else :-)

answer the hilitedText of fld "My scrolling list field" -- "of me" in  
the field script if you prefer

If you allow me, one word on top of that about ergonomics: however is  
the platform, guide lines say that selecting a line in a list just do  
that and nothing else :-)
