When a new card gets added to my stack, I want the cursor to be 
automaticlly placed in the text entry field so that text may be entered by 
just typing from the keyboard.

I have written an "On newcard" handler which assigns a title to the card, 
and then uses the select command to place the cursor in the field, but in 
practice, the cursor only appears for a short second and then is gone.  It 
appears that when the handler ends, the text field gets closed.  Anyone 
know of a way to get this to work properly?
