Malte, You said,
> I do not appear to be able to say set the UnicodeText of fld "test" to line 2 to -1 of UTF16String. This does work for me. I don't know what the etiquette is on this list regarding attachments, so I uploaded my screen shot to http://russian.cornell.edu/CyrillicChunks.png. It helps understand the script because the button labels are used in the script. In the screen shot, I have asked it to "show word 3 of line 2." Here is the script that does this: put the unicodeText of field "InputField" of this card into locOutput --the top field in the screen shot put uniDecode(locOutput, "UTF8") into locOutput put the label of button "LinePos" into locLinePos --this is the "In Line" dropdown menu put the label of button "WordPos" of this card into locWordPos --this is the "Show Word" dropdown menu put word locWordPos of line locLinePos of locOutput into locOutput set the unicodeText of field "ResultsField1" of this card to uniEncode(locOutput, "UTF8") --this is the bottom field in the screen shot I haven't yet worked with intercepting keystrokes, but I will attack that tonight or tmorrow. It is one of the requirements for my application.
