Hi Jeff,

This is indeed very easy - as long as you know what message to handle.

If you have several fields, you could put this handler in the card script; or 
you could group the fields and put it into the group script:


on openField
   select the text of the target
end openField


Otherwise, put it into the script of the field and [optionally] change 'the 
target' to 'me'.

HTH -
