Don't pass the message. You can't replace the keystroke that is passed 
to the engine, but you can put a different keystroke directly into the 
field instead. Change the handler to:

on keydown tk
  put toUpper(tk) into the selection
end keydown

Make sure you place this handler only into the field it controls, or 
else check to be sure the target is a field you want to work with. 
Otherwise all typing in the card or stack will be blocked.
