Another problem ... I want to write a handler which counts the number of
words a user types into an editable text sprite. The idea is that the
handler:
1. counts the number of words which are entered, as they are typed;
2. disallows anything more than 6 words;
3. issues a pop-up message explaining that more than 6 words is not
permitted;
4. responds to the enter key by bringing up the next editable sprite on the
stage.

John,
Put this on a text sprite. Should get you started.
-A.
--------------------------
on beginSprite me
sprite(me.spriteNum).member.editable = TRUE
end
on keyUp me
myText = sprite(me.spriteNum).member.text
if mytext.word.count < 7 then
pass
else
case charToNum(the key) of
8: pass -- backspace
3: go the frame + 1 -- enter
13: go the frame + 1 -- carriage return
otherwise
alert "no more than 6 words please"
end case
delete word 7 of myText
sprite(me.spriteNum).member.text = myText
end if
end
