I want to catch the tabkey and closefield equivalents in a regular table to

As I understand from other posts, there are frontscripts in button
"revTable" of group "revLibraries" of stack "revLibrary"
But what do I need to do to catch these (and not to shoot my foot off!).
This is a two-column table, for optional labels and for amounts. It may
get arbitrarily long (so it scrolls), but a couple of dozen entries would
be very rare.
So I want to move any numeric entry in the left column immediately to the
right and reposition, sum the second column, and so forth. And to notife
when I eave the table entirely.
If I can catch the messages corresponding to closefield, arrowkey, and
tabkey, I already have all the handlers I need.
Also, I find that when I *do* manage to catch a closefield on leaving the
table, it gets called twice, once for the table, and once for the revcell
(which I am currently trapping).
I assume (dangerous business), that, in the cardScript of the card that
holds your table
one could have this sort of thing:
on keyUp KUP
if KUP =
wait a minute; scrub that . . . let's go for rawKeyUp:
on rawKeyUp RUP
if RUP = 65289 then
-- do whatever fancy things you want
end if
-- trap left arrowKey
if RUP = 65361 then
-- do whatever fancy things you want
end if
-- have further routines to trap the other arrow keys
end rawKeyUp
[if that doesn't thrill your gorilla overmuch, consider using a switch
statement]
I suppose you would have to have this sort of script in the field's script:
on closeField
-- do whatever you fancy
end closeField
