Otherwise, using the "U.S.", "British" or "Australian" keyboards (via the Input tab of "International" System Preferences), you can still type "ü" in a Rev field (option-u, u); you just don't get any feedback until you type the (second) "u". Jonathan, After a little further investigation, my problem is that I can't type foreign characters into my RunRev app's fields when I've got the US keyboard selected. If I select the British keyboard or the US Extended keyboard, then I can type ümlauts to my heart's content in my RunRev app. But not with the US keyboard. With the US keyboard selected I can type foreign characters in all other apps, just not in RunRev. Anyone have any ideas why this might be?

Re-2: Typing foreign characters in RunRev (unicode !)
On Microsoft PCs you have to set up system control (Systemsteuerung) languages and regions (Regional- und Spracheigenschaften) installing the languages you like I am using hebrew und greek therefore I had first to install the language tools for languages writing right to left (you need the OS CD-ROM). In Runrev i can perfectly type hebrew from right to left within one word but it breaks the direction in the sentence. I use winword for typing hebrew text and copy it into the runrev textfield. Runrev is using perfect unicode support in HTMLtext and RTFtext of the textfield.Ø But runrev breakes foreign languages in table mode of the field because they use the # sign as delimiter for the table columns. All foreign languages are coded using the # sign in HTML ==> foreign languages are immediately broken when used in a table text field. No experience in linux or mac.

Hi Frank, Le 14 févr. 05, à 18:00, Frank Leahy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a écrit : I'm curious what our German, French and Portuguese Revers do.. Can you type accents and umlauts into Rev fields? What happens if you use a US keyboard instead of a German/French/Portuguese keyboard, can you still type them? The keyboards work differently according to the language and the keys are not the same in each language (I am telling about hardware). When a language uses often accentuated vowels, umlauts or tilde, the corresponding keyboard offers the right keys without any combination. You can get them too on any keyboard but you have to know how to get them and it's often a little tricky. If you don't count unicode languages, you can find more than 30 different "standard" keyboards... For instance the first keys are "azerty" in French, "qwerz" in German and "qwerty" in English... Imagine what happens for the other keys: "]" in english is "+" in German, "$" in French and Italian, a key combination in Spanish and Portuguese (but not the same: "`" and "´"), etc. Then, if you are using Mac OS X, activate the languages you want in the international preferences panel, ask for displaying the corresponding menu into the menubar and open the keyboard utility : you will able to test all the keyboards you desire :-) I never find such an utility in the Windows environment...

Re: Typing foreign characters in RunRev
Na Frank, That should be a nice and simple keydown card message on keydown k if the hilite of btn "typeGerman" then get chartranlate[k] if it is empty then pass keydown else put it into the selection end if else pass keydown end keydown something like that... (not tested, from the hairloosing top of my head) ;) This way you dont need to type extra stuff but you do need to click the button on and off to choose what you type... Maybe you could also use the option or control key to switch modes... Another approach is to typre something like /u and later do a replace for each /a or /u into the letters you want...
