I work in MS Excel extensively, copy pasting text between it and Revolution.
I experience problems with the Rev IDE when I copy-paste text from MS Excel into the IDE, on OS X. Like:
- script won't compile
- find and replace dialog won't find correctly
- answer dialog won't properly display text stored in a custom property

Hi Alex,
The problem can be caused by some < numtochar(0) > characters left in
the text by any text editor. May be there are others, but this is the one
I could catch.
Some more catches :
the numtochar numbers to replace with empty in the scripttext:
the 0 already mentioned produces a compile error "Handler: bad command"
(in my testcase)
8, 29 will compile but produces a "can't find handler" - error when run
Testmethod:
on mouseUp put "on mouseup" & cr & "beep" & cr & "end mouseup" into fld "test" put numtochar(0) before line 2 of fld "test1" ### 0 8 29 end mouseUp
Copy and paste the result into the script of a button and try to compile and/or run the script
HTH, until the next catch if there are WA
