Set a field to use locktext, traversalOn, and autohilite. You can select 
and copy text without the ability to edit. Command/Control-C is built 
into the engine so you don't need to know what the selection is, the 
engine just does it. Your scripts don't need to do anything to 
accomodate this.

You can't double-click a word to select it, but you can drag.
