Thanks Holger,

I had seen your simple XSLT based input box but not your others, the ASV6 
one is great, I can not wait for ASV6 to be in production release (whenever 
that happens!?!!??!) so I can implement it in my app, until then I will look 
into using your ASV3 version I think,  I had a look on your site but found 
no links to those textboxes...is that on purpose?  I had seen Jan's before, 
but had not tried to integrate it, perhaps I will make a more concerted 
effort as it seems to have the functionality I need with respect to 
hightlighting text and keyboard interaction (similar to your ASV6 text box), 
the reason I did not persue it last time I saw it is because I could not get 
my head around the complexities of how he handles his classes, modules 
prototypes,  handles exceptions etc... it all seemed very complicated, but 
as I said, perhaps I just need to nut it out.

Thanks again
Steve
