You seem to have forgotten to put in the "switch" part, so I guess the
"break" is stopping the handler every time.

Try something like this:

on rawKeyDown RAWK
  switch RAWK
    case 121
      put "Fred Flintstone" into fld "fTEXT"
      break
    case 122
      put "Barney" into fld "fTEXT"
      break
    default
      put "Dino" into fld "fTEXT"
  end switch

  pass rawKeyDown
end rawKeyDown
