Thanks Hermann and Paul for clarifying this to me. I didn't noticed the difference to *the keysdown* You say Apple changed the keyboard mapping. I have no idea, if and how this could affect now LC 8 concerning backward compatibility with older systems. Will the keysdown give me on "all" systems (f

Hi all. Yes that's the point: *The keysDown* return the correct (hardware) keyCode. Tiemo is right, there is a bug introduced around LC 8. From the dictionary: "The keycodes returned by the keysDown function are the same as those passed as parameters with the rawKeyDown and rawKeyUp messages." T

As far as I can tell, you only have 2 choices for a field: fixed and non-fixed line height. Fixed—uses, of course, your input setting. Not-fixed—uses a default based on the size of the text within a particular line, or the size of an image referenced in the htmlText "img src" tag (the imageSou

The '58-example' is obviously a script error: the message box has always display bugs, you may better use a field for the display. If I understand right, then you want now the keyCode (an event, depending on _hardware_) and NOT the characterCode (a number representation of the char). Some Mac apps
