Thanks!
I was being very stupid: finding that statements such as:
set the useUnicode to true
set the unicodeText of fld "XXX" to " " & numToChar(12345)
produced gobblydegook, I forgot that 32 is the rawKey number of the
Space Bar and was using another 'space', which the computer
recognised as a character.
I, now have a similar problem with RETURN (65293).
My whole mistake revolved around the fact that I did not understand that
one cannot "mix and match" numToChar stuff with conventional text.
This does not seem to be stated in the Documentation.
