Help...I've just started playing with HC 2.0 and have a proble with the 
"returnInField" message.

I have a script:

	on returnInField
		do something
		pass returnInField
	end returnInfield

What I want to do is to "do something" when the user types a "return" in a
text field, then have the system do its normal thing (put a return character
in the text field and move the insertion point to the beginning of the next
line in the field and allow the user to continue typing.  But HC does not
return control to the text field after the "do something". Bummer...

This script works fine:		on returnInField
					pass returnInField
				end returnInField
i.e., "do something" is "nothing", then I get a new line in the text field 
and I can continue typing.  but when "do something" exists, the "pass return-
Infield" does not work and I lose the insertion point.

Another problem. In the Power Tools stack, there is a windoid called "Super
Grouper".  I cannot get the group button to work.  I can get the other buttons
to work (not really, since I cannot group objects, and the move and align 
tools complain "no objects grouped") so I definitely have the scripts in my
message passing hierarchy.  Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong???
