It's worth noting that the tab key can serve to change the "focus" from
one field to another -- which would tend to mess up the previously-existing
selection. It might be appropriate to set up a different experiment in which the
selected-affecting qualities of the tab key don't enter into it:
# in the script of a separate button
on mouseUp
answer (the selectedChunk)
end mouseUp
Hope this helps...
