How do I select text in a field?

I want to programatically select text in a field as if I had 
doubleclicked it. For example... I want to select word 4 of a field.

When I enter the following statement in the Message Box or in a button:

	select word 4 of field "one"

The insertion point flashes in the field and the focus border flashes 
but no text is selected. How do I do this?
