OK, this is really simple to do.  You make a new mainstack with one card
whose script is:

on mouseUp
focus on field "Field"
end mouseUp

Now you create a button with traversal off and a field with traversal on. The button script is:

on mouseUp
  ask "pick a number"
  if isNumber(it) is true then put it into field "Field"
  if the result is "Cancel" then select the text of field "Field"
  if isNumber(it) is false then send mouseUp to this card
end mouseUp

Select text as you and Jacque suggested works fine.

Now, what I expect is that if you enter say xyz at the prompt, it should
send mouseUp to the card, and this should be exactly the same as clicking on
the card.  Maybe this is not right?

I think it is not right. :)

When you send a message, like "mouseup", to a card, that is all that happens. Just the message. Any user actions that would ensue from a physical click don't execute. You only get a message entry lined up in the message queue. It's all very silent and behind the scenes.

If you want to simulate a real, physical click, then use "click at <locx,locy>" or "click at the loc of fld 1". This duplicates a physical user action. It isn't really the best way to go about it though. However, the "click at" command sends all the normal mouse messages that are associated with a physical click (mousedown, mousestilldown, mouseup) and sets the focus.

But a better way is to just script the behaviors you want -- i.e., to select the text of the field. Just like you did. :)
