I plan to support all of the Tk key symbols in that [key( message
but I haven't found an easy way to do that yet. Here's the list of
symbols used for keys in Tcl/Tk:
http://tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TkCmd/keysyms.htm
Basically, in Tcl, I need a way to insert the character using the key
symbol.

Thanks, Hans, once again, I hit just reply instead of reply to all...
I did a quick test on the key message, and it appears that some
keys are still not allowed. Such things as a double quote ("), a
percent sign (%), and left bracket ([) (but it does allow a right
bracket), the backslash (\) and a tilde (~). All of these
characters can be typed directly into the [text] widget.
While I know some of the characters are special in PD, some of
these things are probably needed to support the full character set
that SQL can recognize.
I was hoping that I could use a [text] object as a buffer to create
multiple SQL statements that would get sent to the server as a
group. I kind of think this would be useful in storing data in a
database, in hopes of keeping down the number of things sent to the
server at once. I was toying with the idea of adding this to the
SQL external itself, but I seem to be running into a problem that I
can't troubleshoot, as it doesn't appear to have any rhyme or
reason as to why it acts that way.
Thanks for your help,
Mike

I cc'ed the list since it's of general interest.
This message is called [append( for lists/atoms and [key( for
individual keystrokes (i.e. "space" makes a space char).

Hans,
I was wondering if it would be possible to add some messages that
[text] would use to append its buffer? I would think things
similar to what a message box already understands, things like
'add', 'add2', 'addsemi', 'addcomma', 'adddollar', and
'adddollarsym'.
Or is there something already in place?

Yeah, the help file problem is thruout 0.40.3-extended builds
AFAIK...

Coming soon... :) (or build tkwidgets from source)
