I posted this on the Improve list, but for the benefits of the Use 
list, here's what I do:

on closeField
  if the text of me is not a number then
    send "NeedNumber" to me in 20 milliseconds
  end if
end closeField

on NeedNumber
  answer "You must enter a number."
  select the text of me
end NeedNumber
