  We need a script which lets us know what line a user clicked on in a 
field which has several lines of text that wrap. To clarify, we have a 
field which, according to hypercard, has 3 lines but occupies 4 or 5 
physical lines on the screen. How can we find out which of the 3 lines was
clicked?  Do we need an XFCN which gives us the length of a string in pixels or
is there some trick we're missing?

E-mail me at korcuska@ils.nwu.edu if this has been overly discussed in this
group.  thanks
