In case anyone is following this, I did some searching and found out 
that the editable property has been deprecated on Android. It will still 
work with SDK 11 (I think that's Froyo) and earlier, but fails on any OS 
newer than that. The SDK provides no clear alternative. Stack Overflow 
has many questions about how to create a non-editable text field that 
still allows copying, and there are apparently some kludgy workarounds 
if you are doing it in Java, but there's nothing I could see that will 
help us in LiveCode.
