I might be a bit late, but anyway, try this:

## in case this is a list field you can could also use:
## put word one of the selectedtext of fld "xyz" into lineNum
   put word one of the value of the clickline into lineNum --  
provides number w/ a periof
   delete last char of lineNum -- deletes the period

## sometimes brackets are highly recommended, especially when creating
## object names with variables!
   put (lineNum &"H") into fldName

## creates a field name such as "1H" and DOES now :-)
   send mouseup to field fldName -- sends the mouseup to the  
appropriate field
