selectionChanged message

[Peter Haworth]

Thanks Jacquie.  Here's an interesting one.  I put an answer  
information at the top of my selectionChanged handler so I could tell  
what might be triggering it.  Clicking on the line number to set a  
debug break point didn't trigger it.  Moving around with the script  
editor window (with arrow keys and mouse clicks) did, as you said it  
would.  But then I clicked on the menu bar of the Application browser  
window and my answer information popped with field "Script".  Maybe  
selectionChanged happens when you leave a field as well as when you  
move around within it?
