Solution for closeField problem

[simplsol at aol.com]

Michael, Ken, Jacque,
In my original post I said I'd already used "select empty".
It worked under 2.7.2 from July of last year.
When we made a new standalone (from the same original Rev stack) using 
2.8.1, copy and paste ceased to work.
There may be something in my code that affects this (code was attached 
to a previous email) but it is really quite simple and appears to be 
clean. We have been testing the new code today and, so far, it is 
working as desired. If "select empty" works for you, that is fine. If 
you need my workaround, you are welcome to it; I hope it helps.

PS Jacque, I can't afford to pay Phil what he's worth, let alone give 
him a raise and I wouldn't dare give him a demotion. Besides you've met 
me, you KNOW he's right about this "normal" thing...

Hello Paul and Ken, 
I made the 'select empty' suggestion a couple of days 
ago in Paul's previous thread:  "Closing a field by 
clicking a button -OS X" 
Paul, there must be something else going on in your stack 
if 'select empty' does not work for you.  It works 
fine for me in Rev 2.8.1.  If it really broke for you 
under 2.8.1 then perhaps you have stumbled on a new 
bug that crops up in your environment but not mine. 
I am working on a mac ibook G4, OS 10.3.9.
