Linked text in a field as a form

[Bill Vlahos]

The traditional way to deal with an on screen form is to have a number 
of label fields and data fields. This works for simple forms but can 
get tedious quickly if you have much data to enter. It should be 
possible to have a field with the prompt text and a grouped data text. 
I would want the starting data text to simply be a number of characters 
that are underlined. Lock the field so the user can't modify the 
descriptive text but allow the user to enter the fields by clicking on 
the linked text which would start out by being just a bunch of spaces 
indicating a blank form.

What I want to do is have the user click on the spaces (they are 
underlined because the have the link textStyle) and then have a "ask" 
dialog box come up for the user to type what they want. Once they are 
done changing the entry, the dialog box goes away and the text entered 
replaces the original grouped text (but keeps the grouping for later 
changes).

The following handler in the locked field will give me the grouped text 
itself:
on linkClicked theText
   put theText
end linkClicked

...but it won't tell me
	1. Which group it was in the field (can I identify multiple linked 
texts in a field)?
	2. How do I replace the original text group? (I.e. put varText into 
group 2 of field "form")
	3. How do I keep the replaced text also as a group?
