Setting a character with imagesource through htmlText?

[Geoff Canyon]

In your example, if you put the field you should get tes t. Note the 
extra space. That's a character being supplied by Rev as the target for 
the imagesource.

If you put "test" into the field and then use

set the imagesource of char 3 of fld 1 to 1005

you will get a field that looks like: te[image]t but if you put the 
field you will get test.

I'm modifying some code someone else wrote where they set the 
imagesource and then took advantage of the fact that the underlying 
character was still there (but hidden). I changed it to setting the 
htmlText for exactly the reason you listed -- speed, but now the 
underlying character is always space, so the code is broken.
