Okay, let's talk about that code.  It's like this:

  @i_say = edit_box do
    keypress do |k|
      # ...
    end
  end

This code isn't what you're looking for.  The `keypress` method adds
a keypress handler.  So you're adding a new keypress handler every
time someone types in the edit box.

  @i_say = edit_box do
    @remaining.replace string_alert
    if @remaining.text[-1] == ?\n
      upandaway
    end
  end

That's more what you're looking for.  The edit_box block is called
every time the edit_box is altered.  It's just a shortcut for:

  @i_say = edit_box
  @i_say.changed do
    # ...
  end
