List fields and linktext

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi David,

In such a case, I prefer to build a list as the following one:

<list string 1 > tab <link string 1>
<list string 2> tab <link string 2>
etc.

I set the tab stops in the list field greater than the width of the  
field.
Then the link strings do not appear for the user.
When a line is selected I get item 2 of the selectedText:

on mouseUp
   local tLink
   -----
   set the itemDel to tab
   put item 2 of the selectedText into tLink
   <do what you want with tLink>
end mouseUp

You can sort the list without loosing any link string and it's easier  
to maintain by editing the contents of the field: all link strings  
are there :-)
