Just to clarify to everyone what I'm trying to do.
Please look at a graphic explanation here...

Tried Jim Ault's solution, but it works only on existing text
already placed in the field. Any key pressed result in a message.
I need a function that triggers at each keyDown.
I will try Jacqueline/Martin's solution now, with a keyDown
in the editedText field and a lookupchar function in the card.
After this is achieved, at some point I then need to deal with the
keyDown event when the User places the insertion point arbitrarily
in the text to revise a word.
Still plugging away...

Sounds like there is an error 'cos there is no selected text. Try
putting a keydown handler similar to my/Jacque's recommendation into
the editedtext field script, and the lookupchar function into the card
or stack script (you can remove the button). Then chars should be
replaced as you type in editedtext. Keep on plugging away..
experimentation and the dictionary are helpful when things don't seem
to work.

So... I made a new main Stack: lookup.rev,
created three fields: editedText, input, output,
and a button to run the script.
ABC is first line of 'input' field.
123 is first line of output filed.
in field editedText, ABC is entered.
Button is pressed.
Result: "Error in handler"
Hint: function.
This function should work in its own right - yes?
