Quick and dirty idea:

on mouseup whichone
   global field2delete
   if whichone = 3 then
      set the rect of grc "my hilite border in red or whatever" to  
the rect of fld "xyz"
      set the loc of grc "my hilite border in red or whatever"  to  
the loc of fld "xyz"
      put "xyz" into field2delete
      show grc "my hilite border in red or whatever"
   end if
....
end mouseup

on deletekey
   global field2delete
   if the visible of grc "my hilite border in red or whatever" then
      hide fld field2delete
      hide grc "my hilite border in red or whatever"
   end if
end deletekey

You get the picture, should be easily doable.

But you might want to use a shorter name for the graphic ;-)
