Definitely easier but doesn't do the same thing for fields with ListBehavior 
set to true, if the textHeight is something greater than a "single" line. 
ClickText will not return empty when you click the space that appears to be 
between the lines. The function I posted earlier will return empty if you 
click between the lines and return the nearest line number when you click 
right on the text in the line.  I'll admit this is being rather picky and may 
not even be appropriate in some situations, but it's what I need to do 
sometimes.
