New App Developed in LiveCode

[Pete]

Nice, thanks Trevor.  I think there is one other boundary condition that
would occur if there is only one field control on the card and the other
controls are buttons of one sort or another, and that is if the user presses
the tab key in the field.  Even with traversalOn set to true for buttons,
they don't seem to be selected in those circumstances (this is on a Mac).  I
guess that could be handled by the tabKey message.
