Re: Return Character Substitute
Ray, I would suggest something non-printable. For example, the delete character. Try checking an ASCII table, then using things such as numToChar(9). If you use something non-printable and consistently defined, then you won't have to worry about your users typing it.

Return Character Substitute
Any suggestions on a good substitute for the return character. I just want to store user input of mulitple lines into a single line, but then still be able to retrieve it and put the return characters back where they were. On the Mac I've used option-returns, but I don't think this character exists on other platforms. I'd like to avoid characters which my users might also input manually, like underscores.
