Way cool! I hadn't even looked at formattedText from that viewpoint.
So the original poster's problem could be solved something like:
on mouseUp
put the formattedText of field "foo" into field "holder"
find "aid" in field "holder"

Check out the formattedText property. It gives you back the text of a
field with returns inserted where the text is wrapped in the field.
