Sending keyDown

Jim.

Thought some more about your post.

What I am trying to do is get typed chars into the field, and then work on 
the actual text of that field. 

That was why the idea of sending keyDown in the handler's first line is so 
nice; it loads the field, and still leaves the remainder of the handler open 
for processing. I cannot pass keyDown, the only thing that actually works, 
because doing so ends the handler.

Again, this works in HC. It seems completely logical and straighforward.
