create a new label field

[J. Landman Gay]

Just for reference, LiveCode has only one field and one button object.  All the field variations in the tool palette are just a single field object with different properties set.  The same goes for all the buttons. 

I think it's misleading for new users because it gives the impression that there are different types of button and field controls.
