Ok, here's my problem:

I have a field called entry and another called lst.  lst is a scrolling field.
The idea is I want the first line of the entry field to be copied into
the lst field whenever I hit a return key in the entry field.

What's wrong with this script:

on returnInField
  get line 1 of field "entry"
  put it into line 1 of field "lst"
  CloseField
end returnInField

This is the script for my entry field.  When I hit the return key, it
crashes the system. Is it because I am not clearing the entry field?
why won't CloseField do the job? How do I clear the contents of a field 
anyway.  
thanx,
