Cracked It!
  And a right "@#$%^" it is too . . .  :(

to detect a SPACE one has to TURN OFF useUnicode:

set the useUnicode to false
   put the word 4 of the selectedChunk into WONKY
   get charToNum(char WONKY of fld "MyGuff")
   put it
set the useUnicode to true

"somebody", cough, cough, ought to get all this sorted out in the 
Documentation.
