[Tutor] My code works but it is a little bit broken.

[brandon w]

The fields take the initial value and multiply it to get the amount.
The problem in in the callback function. It uses the <Enter> event to clear
a field, but when the mouse enters a second time it adds a numeric value.
This is a semantic error. It is not doing what I want it to do.
