You get the "openField" message when the cursor enters a field, and the
"closeField" message when the cursor leaves the field (if the contents have
changed), or the "exitField" message when the cursor leaves the field with
the contents *unchanged*.

so:

on openField
  answer "Hi"
end openField

on closeField
  answer "Thank you!"
end closeField

on exitField
  answer "Thank you!"
end exitField
