Just when I was thinking I had the differences between HC and Rev down, I stumble.

I have an editable field with this handler:

on keyDown var
   send "keydown" && var to this stack
   put var
end keyDown

In HC, any text I type gets placed into the field, so typing works normally, but then I can do stuff with the last char, like put it into the msg box. Actually, in HC, I say "to Hypercard", but it makes no difference.

But in Rev I get an error message stating that Rev "can't find handler near "keyDown".

Can't wait to see where this divergence between the two lies...

Oddly enough, the dispatch command works well here (provided you're using v3.5):

on keyDown var
  dispatch "keydown" to this stack with var
  put var
end keyDown
