Try this, Simon:

on mouseUp
  put field "listCats" into tListCats
  put the hilitedlines of field "listCats" into tHilitedLines
  repeat with i = number of items in tHilitedLines down to 1
    delete line (item i of tHilitedLines) of tListCats
  end repeat
  put tListCats into field "listCats"
end mouseUp

Also, try using the dictionary.  The entry for "repeat" will help you.
