Ok, I give up.  What's the secret?  This should be obvious and simple, but I
can't get any of the alternatives to work.  I have a simple field that
collects responses when given the focus, and I want to prevent the user from
typing a return into the field.  However, none of keyDown, rawKeyDown, etc.
seem to do it.  In the ref stack, it is implied for all that all I have to
do is *not* pass the key if it is return and all should be fine, but
regardless of what I do ***even if I pass nothing from the handler*** a
return is still entered into the field.  What gives?  For example, the
handler in the field scipt:
on rawKeyDown x
end rawKeyDown
*still* puts a return in the field!  I am more than a little baffled, not to
say frustrated.  Metacard PPC 2.4.
