I've been trying to simulate a cash register using Hypercard.  Some 
of that I'm doing is similar to the hypercalc demo that comes
with hypercard...

Anyway, what I want is to have a field that acts like a LCD or LED display 
on a calculator or cash register.  The user would type in something, and when
he hits a carriage return, the something would be copied into a scrolling 
field. The display field would be cleared and the scrolling field would act
like a a paper tape, holding a list of what has been typed.

PROBLEM:  I understand that the returnKey and enterKey interrups don't work
	  in fields.  How do I get around this? 

Am I making sense?
