The action I wish for is this:  the first mouse click clears
the form of it's default string, any following mouse clicks
place the cursor where the pointer points.  
I would also settle for the edit box to come up with the
default string highlighted so that as soon as the user
started typing, it would be overwritten anyway.  That way
the user wouldn't have to click in the first place and I
wouldn't have to program in all the buttondownfcn
manipulations!  Thanks guys.
