Hey Dave,
"meant to" apparently means someone told you to do it that way?  Must 
have been on this list. No mention of a variable pass requirement in 
the transcript dictionary.  Unfortunately, I only have time to read a 
small fraction of this list.  So if it aint in the documentation, it 
constitutes a 'trick' in my opinion :-)

Could be, but I get problems with other characters as well.  And a 
general negative environment since if you forget and leave Japanese 
input on (which is all the time) the editor/message box cannot recover 
without some fanagling.  But I don't have time to check bug reports 
either :-)
