Ken, this worked brilliantly!

I was using a "type tab" to tab out of the current field and force a  
closeField, but (as far as I could tell) it was leading to crashing  
the standalones and even crashing the whole IDE.

"select empty" on mouseDown works beautifully!

(I put it in the card script, not a frontscript... since my menus  
only have a MenuPick, and buttons only have mouseUp, no mouseDowns  
were being trapped)


I did find it in the docs under "select":

"Use the 'select empty' form to deselect all objects and text."
