For proper testing I need a complete file.

I wonder if this entry is really needed. I want to test it first. 

This calculate thing is rather fuzzy. It's often best to do it manually,
i.e. code it. 

\startJSpreamble {Calculate} used now
  function Calculate ()
    { v = getField("Ergebnis") ; v.value = 0 ;
      v.value += getField("Summand1").value ;
      v.value += getField("Summand2").value }
\stopJSpreamble

\startJScode{Format}
  AFNumber_Format(2, 3, 0, 0, "", true) ; Calculate() ;
\stopJScode

\startJScode{Keystroke}
  AFNumber_Keystroke(2, 3, 0, 0, "", true) ; Calculate() ;
\stopJScode

In due time I will cook up some proper auxiliary functions.
