     Not sure I understand, Sarah.  My filter handler is invoked by  
keyUp as

on keyUp
    -- Do filter stuff here.
end keyUp

which is the search field's script.  The keyUp handler above works  
fine for any entry except a deletion or backspace.  Below that in the  
field's script is the deleteKey or backspaceKey handler, so I figured  
that

on deleteKey
    send keyUp to me
    pass deleteKey
end deleteKey

should do the trick.  I'll have a look at the documentation for  
rawKeyUp is see if I can make something of it.

     Thanks for the help,

         Greg
