Hmmm. I get different results, so something else must be going on.

Your text entry validation code works fine and limits the keys to 
alphanumeric values.
But the numeric code doesn't do anything. Try this to limit to two digits:

on keyDown pWhichKey
  if the selection is not empty then
    delete the selection
  end if
  if pWhichKey is a number then
    if the length of me < 2 then
      pass keyDown pWhichKey
    end if
  end if
end keyDown
