There is a way to do this through a XCMD, and a way to do it through
hypercard script.  I know of no XCMD that does this so,
The script would look like this:
select field "the field you want"
domenu "copy text"

It's fairly self-explanatory, the first line selects your field,
and the second copies the selected text.
The menu command MIGHT not actually be "copy text" (it might just be
"copy") but its something like that.
I doubt that a XCMD would exist since the script isn't too long.
