In HyperCard 1.2 and later there are two new messages sent by HyperCard called returnInField and enterInField. They are very useful for handling either of these two keys when editing text. They are also related to the tab and auto-tab functions. More info and lots of great examples of how all this stuff works may be found in the HyperCard 1.2 Release Notes stack that ships with the HyperCard 1.2 product. I can understand people not reading the manuals, but come on folks, you can at least CLICK on a few buttons to puruse the help stacks, can't you? I know, I know, you probably don't have 1.2 yet and the Apple dealers aren't any help... Happy scripting.
