Subject: <lingo-l> how to submit text by pressing ENTER


HI there,
I have the following problmem:
I have a button which says post text, when the user
clicks that a text field appears for him to type the
text in

On mouseUp me
  if postNoteButton= FALSE then
    postNoteButton= TRUE
    sendsprite(5, #postNote)
end if
end mouseUp

Now i want that when he presses enter the system goes
into another handler:

on postNote me
if postNoteButton= TRUE then
    member("tt").text=""
    sprite(5).member= member("tt")
    sprite(5).loc= point(100,100)
    sprite(5). editable= TRUE
    sprite(5).puppet = TRUE
  end if

on keyDown
  if the key = RETURN then
    setnote
  end if
end

end mousedown

i tried like above, on enter it goes into the setNote
handler which is ok, but while typing into the field,
no text shows since the control seems to be trapped in
the on keydown handler only...
what shall I do in the key down handler that tells it
to let the user keep typing into the field, until he
presses ENTER?????????

any suggestions???

Thanx
Richie
