Probably a typo, but "end of rawkeydown" throws a compiler error. Also, 
when passing a message, you don't need to include the parameter(s), 
those go along automatically. "pass rawKeyDown" is enough, though I see 
it doesn't seem to matter if it's there; likely the engine is ignoring it.

I just tested this and it's behaving okay for me. The focus command 
doesn't make any difference, the hilite changes normally when arrow keys 
are pressed. Your field has "autohilite" set to true, right? Do you have 
any arrowKey handlers that might be blocking the arrow keys?
