Thanks Ian, I certainly missed that (I wonder what question in MacOS
Help would have led to that answer?!). I have no idea whether I could
somehow include this utility within my Rev app (using Applescript?),
but even if I could, I would then have to solve the problem for
Windows. OTOH, the general design of the thing is a good starting
point...
Thanks again

No idea about Windows, but Key Caps is still around in 10.4, it's
just that it's renamed and you have to turn it on - and the switch is
a bit... 'buried'.
Open System Prefs.
International pane.
Input Menu tab.
Check "Keyboard Viewer" in the list.
Keyboard Viewer (pretty much identical to the old Key Caps) will now
be an option in the input menu on the menu bar.

I am starting work on an app (cross-platform Mac & PC) where the
user will be allowed to select certain characters from the
repertoire of a chosen font: the easiest way to do this visually -
at least for the Roman alphabet, which is what I need - is by
showing a graphic representation of a keyboard with the appropriate
layout (varies by country) and allowing the user to click on a
character, with the modifier keys (shift etc) working as they do on
the real keyboard. Apple used to have a Desk Accessory called Key
Caps which did just that - perhaps this has now been replaced by
the Font Panel or the Character Palette, neither of which seem to
do what I want. I'm not sure if Windows XP has/had such a utility.
Has any lister had to offer this feature, and if so, how did they
do it? Any pointers gratefully received.
