How to start this project...

Just to clarify to everyone what I'm trying to do.
Please look at a graphic explanation here...
http://www.clubtype.co.uk/revDev-abc/abc-rev.jpg

Tried Jim Ault's solution, but it works only on existing text
already placed in the field. Any key pressed result in a message.
I need a function that triggers at each keyDown.

I will try Jacqueline/Martin's solution now, with a keyDown
in the editedText field and a lookupchar function in the card.

After this is achieved, at some point I then need to deal with the
keyDown event when the User places the insertion point arbitrarily
in the text to revise a word.

Still plugging away...
