Richmond, thanks for inching my problem towards a solution. I downloaded your test. Clever, in fact too clever for me. I don't understand why the test works. Would you care to explain?
Incidentally, I found the following instructive when using your handler: 1. I found some genuine Unicode text (it was from the Wikipedia entry dedicated to Unicode), pasted it in to your handler and got a correct report that it was Unicode. 2. Then I copied some text from an ordinary LC field that I happened to have on the screen, and pasted it into your handler after the already identified Unicode text: the whole text was identified as Unicode. 3. When I cleared out the handler's entry field and just pasted my field text, the test said it wasn't Unicode. >From which I conclude that if I put just one innocent Unicode character (let's >say space) into my field before allowing people to paste into it, whatever >gets pasted will be seen by LC as Unicode - mission accomplished! Of course >I'm going to test this some more...
