That's weird - I use this successfully in several projects:
on selectionChanged
showInfo the hilitedLine of me -- the handler that displays
info about the list item
end selectionChanged
and it certainly works with the arrow keys, without any spcial
scripting....
Is there some property of the list field that you've set or unset?
I get the same reliable result here in many applications I use
list fields in.
Dave, is the traversalOn property set? The only way I can not get
the desired behavior is to turn that property off; with it on it
works like a champ.

I have to apologize: you are right.
I confused with a case I wanted arrow keys to act as a carousel
then needed to script it.
Thanks for this clarification.

Well I'll be jiggered! You are absolutely right! Selection changed
by arrowkeys *does* cause the selectionchanged message to be sent
I read this in the dictionary (emphasis added):
"The selectionChanged message is sent to a field whenever the user
makes a text selection or moves the insertion point in the field,
after the selection is changed. *The selectionChanged message is not
sent if the user uses the arrow keys to change the selection. To
respond to use of the arrow keys, handle the rawKeyUp message and
check the selection within the handler.*"
....and believed it, so I didn't test to see if it was true, but set
about scripting the arrow key handler.
Now, should I feel irritated I wasted time on an unnecessary handler,
or happy that Rev does what I thought it ought to do in the first
place *and* this list once again comes up trumps?
I think this list tips the scale towards happy :-))
Best Wishes,
