and here is the code I would use to parse for the zip
(keeping it simple)
on parseZipExample
-- I copied the source window, so
put the clipboarddata into htmlPage --
replace " " with cr in htmlPage
filter htmlPage with "?????-????"
filter htmlPage without "*--*"
filter htmlPage without empty
;put htmlPage --into msgbox
end parseZipExample
Modify to suit your program.

Richard,
Thanks. I am astonished that this is possible.
I'm afraid I am missing something. I tried entering my data (my home
address--it appears that is what you did) in the USPS page
http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/
I then copied and pasted that source code into field 1 in LiveCode.
(I didn't see any reference to my data--my address--in that html
text.)
I used your script in a button and obtained some html text in field
2. But there is no reference in field 2 to my street address.
I don't mind working on the parsing to do the put and get, but I'm
sure I missing the ingredient where my data (address, city and St)
goes into field 1. I think that is what I am missing.
I don't see "visited=1&pagenumber=0 etc. anywhere in field 1 or 2.
Floundering,
