Count Up Timer?

[Craig Newman]

When I was very young I used to run a gadget like this on a field with styled text:

on mouseUp
  get fld 1
  repeat for each char tChar in it
    put numToChar(charToNum(tChar)) after accum
  end repeat
  put accum into fld 2
end mouseUp

But you do not have to do all that:

on mouseUp
  get fld 1
  put it into fld 2
end mouseUp

I suppose when you put styled text into a variable, unless you play with the HTMLText, only plain text can be held there.
