You are correct that it's a downArrowChar. There's currently no way
to generate this keyDown event unless you're running Gremlins.

It appears to me that there might be a problem with the field code,
in handling a down arrow followed by a backspace. It would be great
if you could dump the contents of the field at the time that the
error is reported (easy if you're on a Mac and know how to use
PalmDebugger). You could do it programmatically by checking the
Gremlin # in your app, and writing out the field's contents right
before you'd process the backspace event following the down arrow.
Any additional details would be appreciated.
Though looking at the log, it appears as though a find character is
generated just before a 'g', the down arrow, and then the backspace.
When the app crashes, is the Find form visible?
