Charles,
This is from something that I’m doing where the user can use the arrow keys to
hilite another line or even scroll the field (my field has hundreds of lines).
Also as a bonus, pressing the enter or return keys on the keyboard will do the
same as clicking on the line.
You probably would put this into the card script.

# Catch the arrow, return, enter keys
on rawKeyDown what
indexLineSelect what
pass rawKeyDown
end rawKeyDown
on indexLineSelect tKey
# Currently hilited line
put the hilitedLine of field "GlossaryTerms" into tLine
if tKey is "65293" or tKey is "65421"then
# Return or Enter
if tLine is not empty then
# Here you would do something based on the currently hilited line
#
end if
exit indexLineSelect
else if tKey is "65362" then
# Arrowkey up
indexLineSelectChange up
exit indexLineSelect
else if tKey is "65364" then
# Arrowkey down
indexLineSelectChange down
exit indexLineSelect
end if
on indexLineSelectChange which
# This does the actual change of the hilited line
put the hilitedLine of field “YourFieldName" into tLine
if tLine is not empty then
if which is "up" then
if (tLine - 1) > 0 then # Don’t want to go below line zero
set the hilitedLine of field "GlossaryTerms" to (tLine - 1)
end if
else
if (tLine + 1) < the number of lines of field "GlossaryTerms" then
set the hilitedLine of field "GlossaryTerms" to (tLine + 1)
end if
end if
else
# Optional--This will scroll the field when there is no hilited line yet
if which is "up" then
set the scroll of field "GlossaryTerms" to the scroll of field
"GlossaryTerms" - 40
else
set the scroll of field "GlossaryTerms" to the scroll of field
"GlossaryTerms" + 40
end if
end if
end indexLineSelectChange
