Situation:   One mainstack with 6 unlocked fields and one substack with 6 
unlocked fields.

I copy text from one of the fields in the substack and verify that it is in 
clipboardData["text"] which it is.  I would like to then be able to click on an 
unlocked text field in the mainstack and have it immediately paste the text 
into that field.  I have an "openField" handler in each of the 6 unlocked 
fields of the mainstack.  My thinking was the "openField" handler for each 
field in the mainstack would be run since I clicked on that field but 
apparently the message path is not what I'm thinking it should be when going 
straight from a substack and clicking on an object in the mainstack. 

Whats happening:   If I were to click on field 3 in the mainstack with text in 
the clipboard from the substack, field 1 would be the field the text gets 
pasted into.  So it appears that the first object I click on after going from a 
substack to the mainstack is not getting the message. The pasting process works 
fine if I paste text from fields in the same stack. Still trying to figure out 
what messages are firing off when clicking on an object in the mainstack after 
leaving a substack.

Can somebody point me in the right direction and/or offer some advice?

Thanks.
