The magic word, as Richard mentioned, is "selectionChanged". You get 
that message whether the user clicks in a field or uses the arrow keys 
to navigate it (provided traversalOn is true.) Trap it with a handler. 
Within the handler, check the value of the hilitedline, and you are in.

on selectionChanged
  put line (the hilitedline of me) of me into theTextValue
  -- go from here
end selectionChanged
