After you get an account, you should download RevZilla for future bug 
logging - it's a lot easier to use and works right inside Rev:

Cool.

Sure - try wrapping the code in a lock screen/unlock screen combo - no 
need to use mouseUp:

on mouseDown
    lock screen
    if the clickline is empty then
        set the hilitedlines of me to empty
        beep
    else
        put the value of the clickline
    end if
    unlock screen
end mouseDown

That should work...
