if you are only using fields to store your text, then MC will make  
the conversion
ISO <-> Mac (and vice versa) of the text when the stack opens!

I think any character that has an ASCII value < 33 or > 127.

In other words, restrict the input to "pure" ASCII characters, see  
below...

on keydown derKieh
     if chartonum(derKieh) < 33 AND chartonum(derKieh) > 127 then
      ##unwanted characters...
     else
       pass keydown
     end if
end keydown

> Thanks

Yo :-)
