Here is a script that I use to copy all the text in a field.
This works on Mac OS X and Windows (XP and 7).
on mouseUp
select the text of field "myList"
copy
wait 1 second
select empty
set the vscroll of field "myList" to 0 -- reset the scroll to
the top of a long list
end mouseUp
The select command highlights the text.
The wait command allows time for the user to get feedback
The select empty command removes the highlight
The vscroll is set to the top of a long list in the field.
With the text copied, it can be pasted into a different application.
Why not just:
set the clipboarddata{"text"] to the text of fld "myList"
answer "The text is on the clipboard." as sheet
