select after text

Mark's script works perfectly, except I changed 'put the long date after me'
to into "put the long date into me" otherwise one gets two entries next
time.

on openField

      send "selectAfterMe" to me in 0 millisecs

end openField

on selectAfterMe

      put the long date into me

      select after text of me

end selectAfterMe

Livecode is so fast on some machines that one needs some delay that send
can provide.
