Jacqueline, for me, if it were only just this list.

And thank you for the variation, André. I'll put it up beside what I've got and perhaps nab the best of both.

Thank you Jacqueline,

How embarrassing.  I just read the fine print at the bottom of the
keyDown entry in the Rev dictionary.  No excuse for my oversight.  I
think I also found the answer to the Delete key issue there too.

I wish I had a nickle for every time I've embarrassed myself on the list. :)

And so did André:

Hello Gregory,
If I well understand your aim, you could be interested in adapting the
search device I programmed thanks to very good advices from Éric
Chatonnet (as always :-)).
By the way, his tutorial "How to Master Users Data in Entry Boxes"
might interest you; you can find it on his site :
http://www.sosmartsoftware.com/


I have three fields :
- one is the list to be searched in (say "bigList") -- this field
could have its visible property set to false
- a second is a one line field where the user write what he/she is
searching for (say "entry")
- the third is a field where the results of the search appears (say,
"results")

the script of the  field "entry" is as follow :

local mySubList,
---------------------

ON rawkeyUp
   find empty
    REPEAT
      find fld "entry" in fld "bigList" of this cd
      IF the result is "not found" THEN exit repeat
      ELSE
      put value(the foundline) & cr after mySubList
      END IF
    END repeat
    put empty into fld "results"
    put mySubList into fld "results"
    select char 2 to -1 of line 1 of fld "results"
    select after fld "entry"
    put empty into mySubList
END rawkeyUp

ON returnInField
-- here do what you want with the found word
(I use the found word to find a corresponding card in another stack)
END returnInField

Best regards from Grenoble
André
