delete object problem

Hi Bob,

click on

Even though I agree with Ken that this would be "strange" behaviour it 
is possible technically (assuming the lockText of the field is true).

in the card script:

on mouseDown
   if 65288 is in the keysDown then
   --65288 is the backspacekey on Mac.
   --try put the keysDown to find out the number of deletekey
     if "button" is in the name of the target \
         or "field" is in the name of the target then
       delete the target
       beep
     end if
   end if
end mouseDown

Cheers,

Malte
