You could also set up some handlers in the field to trap the keys.  Make it 
so that when the user clicks on the field, the locktext of the field is set 
to false, so they can type in it.  Then put a handler in the field for each 
command you want to trap, such as the arrowkey.  Put something like this:
on arrowkey
if the locktext of me is true then pass arrowkey
end arrowkey
