I don't understand why you can't focus on that field.  You should be able to
focus on it if it's the last thing you do before turning control over to the
student.  If worst comes to worst, you can always load a global with a
command like "focus on field 1", then trap for the global in an idle handler
which executes it and then empties the global.
