When Gremlins posts a character >= 256, it also sets the commandKeyMask
modifier. This allows SysHandleEvent to handle those characters. Hence,
those characters should not be showing up in your text fields. Are you
finding instances where that modifier is not set?

Subject: Problem with StrChr()?
Hi all,
While feeding my program a few gremlins to chew on, it died this evening.
I
managed to track it down to the following. Calls to StrChr(str, chr) where
chr>=256 causes a "StringMgr.c, Line:670, bad chr passed" error. The
questions is, are these character valid? Gremlins seems to be typing them
into some of my textfield that I'm filtering. I got around it by testing
for chr>255 before the StrChr(str, chr) call.
Is this supposed to be this way?
-Paul
