You should check that such input is a number, and put up an error if not:
if it is not a number then --error
Or create a custom dialog and check that the key pressed in the field is a
number:
on keyDown pWhich
if pWhich is not a number then exit keyDown
pass keyDown
end keyDown

It won't do anything (unless you include the error dialog) - it will simply
stop executing the script when it finds an error.
