Using pasteKey in a Search Field Handler

[Gregory Lypny]

Hello everyone,

Yes, I did misspell pasteKey.  Good to have a second set of eyes.   
Thank you, Bob Sneider.

I finally got it working.  The following handlers placed inside a  
search field (the pasteKey handler is at the end) work like a charm if  
you suspend development tools as suggested by Bernd Niggemann.   
However, I found that toggling the development tools on and off while  
testing the script eventually resulted in the pasteKey message not  
being trapped.  Quitting and restarting Rev fixed that.

It may seem odd that a paste command appears in the pasteKey handler.   
It is needed in this case, I think, only because the keyDown message  
that is sent right after is received by the field before any  
characters are placed in it.

As always, thanks for having a look and helping me sort this out.

Regards,

Gregory
