How to create a single line entry field?

Hi Tiemo,

There's a message sent to fields whenever you type RETURN or ENTER in the field:

on enterInField
   -- trap message
end enterInField

on returnInField
   -- trap message
end returnInField


If you put these handlers in the script of your one-line field, the problem will 
go away.

Welcome to Rev!
