Hi again,

That is why I used "more or less".
The workaround I normally use to not let the updates by the engine  
screw up
the intentions of a script (because this case is no real exception),  
is to get "behind" those updates.
Something like this:

on closeField
   if the text of the target is not empty and the text of the target  
is not a number then
     beep
     put the id of the target into tTarId
     answer "Please enter a number."
     --  the amount of millisecs may be related to processor speed
     send "epilogue" && tTarId to me in 10 millisecs
   end if
end closeField

on epilogue x
   focus on control id x
   select text of control id x
end epilogue

ps: and in this particular case I would add an exitfield handler

Greetings,
Wouter
