Getting current line number of a table field.

[Mike Bonner]

Try this...

on rawkeyup pkey
   send "getline" to me in 10 millisec
   pass rawkeyup
end rawkeyup

command getline
   put the short name of the focusedobject
end getline

This gives you the name of the editing field that appears for each cell in
the form of:

revCell-2,2

Parse that and voila, you have your info.
