Dismissing ios keyboard

[Mike Kerner]

Minor update:  The longstanding issue of script issues silently failing (no
warning when something breaks, for example, sending an unhandled event to a
control just causes the script to stop) came up here.  Part of the handler
for the control that deals with the return key had an issue, so it was
exiting before my attempts to click at a location outside of the button.

Clicking at a location on the screen that has nothing under it DOES cause
the field to lose focus and the keyboard to dismiss.

And God said, "This is good."
