I'm curious why it isn't working though. Could you type into the message
box:
edit script of the mousecontrol
Then place the mouse over the message box input field and hit the return
key. The script of the message box field should open. The fourth handler
from the top is this:
on arrowKey which
if which is "up" then revPrevLine
if which is "down" then revNextLine
pass arrowKey
end arrowKey
Is that enabled?
