the siglum key ???

[Richmond]

[Hope this subject line doesn't throw a 'bluey']

If I have a button that contains something like this:

on mouseUp
    put "silly phrase" into fld "XXX"
end mouseUp

it works . . .

Now if I set up a card script so that when I hit the 'Q' key on my keyboard
a "mouseUp" is sent to my button, it works.

HOWEVER

If I set up a card script so that when I hit the SIGLUM key [Top-Left; 
next to '1']
a "mouseUp" is sent to my button, I get a SIGLUM in my field,
not "silly phrase".

This is a bl**dy nuisance; any ideas WHY and HOW to circumvent this problem?

sincerely, Richmond.
