the mouseText and Unicode: a 3-char puzzle

[Slava Paperno]

Bernd,

Thanks for the good news, but it doesn't work for me. I must be doing something 
wrong. I am using the Russian text from Gogol that Tariel found. It is in the 
attached txt file, with the three problem chars. And I'm using the handler you 
posted on 6/16. It is in the other attached file. Do these work for you? Mind 
the field names, please.

Slava

on mouseUp

   put it into tSelPos 
   put 0 into tStartSel 
    
   repeat with i = tSelPos down to 1 
      put the htmlText of char i of field 1 into tHTML 
      if  (tHTML contains  "<p> <" or tHTML is "<p></p>" or tHTML contains 
">,<") then 
         put i into tStartSel 
         exit repeat 
      end if
