So then I thought maybe I was on to something when I discovered that
Dialog uses
ENTER;
SAVETMPS;
...
FREETMPS;
LEAVE;
but DoEvents doesn't. Well, I tried adding that, and it didn't help a
bit. At least not with the double character problem. It does make you
wonder if the above sequence is really necessary in Dialog, if it isn't
necessary in DoEvents; or contrariwise, if it should be in DoEvents to
solve some other problem besides the double character problems.
Not being an XS expert, I couldn't say. I sort of barely grasp that it
is something to do with variable lifetime scoping, but haven't figured
out everything in perlguts yet, so can't yet draw broad inferences as to
the potential impact of extra or missing scoping directives.
