I am presenting a (locked) text field to the user.  When the user
clicks in the field, I want to be able to find out which ordinal word
in the field he has clicked (the first?  the tenth?).  I am trying to
do it by saying

	(stuff to turn off TextLock)
		drag from the ClickLoc to 0,0
and looking at the number of words in the selection.

Unfortunately, this "drag" command doesn't seem to have any effect,
nor can I seem to come up with one that has.

Am I going about this all wrong?
