Hi Ken & Bjoernke:

My deepest apologies to both of you. After staring at the computer screen all day, I just lost focus (a common excuse, but a good one). I was staring at the field and forgot to look at the message box. I will store your suggestions so I never have to ask again. Thank you.

As this is one of the cornerstones of many apps, it certainly should work. Note that nothing will happen in the field itself. Instead, a number should be appear in the message box. That will be the number you want.

For your convenience I made a step by step guide:

1. Make a new stack
2. Drag a field from the tools palette to your stack
3. Open the script of that field, and input the following lines:
    on rawKeyDown pKey
       put pKey
    end rawKeyDown
4. Change to the browse (or run) tool, by clicking the arrow in the tools palette
5. Click on the field with the script
6. Hit any key on your Keyboard (I guess you're interested in the comma)
7. In the message box, the number of the key appears (for comma: 44)

sorry if this seems overly pushy

Hi Ken:

Thanks for your suggestion, but unfortunately it doesn't work. When I type anything in the field, nothing shows up. Any other thoughts?

Hello everybody:

In the Docs under rawKeyDown I find this sample script ...

  on rawKeyDown theKeyNumber
if theKeyNumber is 65308 then increaseScroll -- mouse wheel down else if theKeyNumber is 65309 then decreaseScroll -- mouse wheel up
    else pass rawKeyDown -- don't forget this!
  end rawKeyDown

... but I can't figure out how to get theKeyNumber in the first
place. I know it's just a rawKeyDown parameter here, but how would I, for example, determine "theKeyNumber" for a comma so that I can trap
for it? Is there a list some place? Thanks.

You can always create a dummy field with  the script:

on rawKeyDown pKey
  put pKey
end rawKeyDown

Then type the comma in the field and you'll get your result.
