You can do it one of two ways. I am using .rtf files and reading them in at run-time so that I have styled text. What I first did was use the command "set the clipboardData["text"] to NumToChar(160)" in the Rev Message Box. Then I opened my text editor and pasted where necessary. It worked well. But then I moved my file to the Mac. Because it's a higher ASCII character, it didn't display right on the Mac. So what I ended up doing was putting some other lower ASCII character like "~" (or anything that's not very likely) in my files instead of the actual delimiter character.
I would suggest using "#" as delimiter since you find it easily (in the same way and place) on the keyboard for both Windows and Mac. --

Since the objective is to treat sentences as items, it might be easier to just use the period as the delimiter. (Unless of course there are decimals within the text and then you will have to deal with these separately no matter what delimiter you choose.)
With the period as delimiter you could either place a period after each question mark and exclamation point manually as you have been, or, more simply, do it programatically as follows:
replace "?" with "?." in tText -- Note the period. replace "!" with "!." in tText
Then perform the text manipulations with each sentence as an item. When this is completed you would
replace "?." with "?" in tText replace "!." with "!" in tText
