Not sure about PythonCard but most GUI toolkits, including 
wxPython from which PythonCard is buil;t allow you to trap the 
entry of data(usually with onKeyPress events or similar) so that 
you can check the data as it is entered. You can then beep or 
highlight the text if it is of the wrong type.

There will often be preconfigured entry boxes that automatically 
check for currency, date/time, numeric, password types etc

I think there is a PythonCard mailing list which is likely to 
be a better source than the tutor list.
