Hi Richmond,

Almost every current development tool can do that, except for LiveCode. What we need is a UTF8 script editor.

Um!

That doesn't sound all that good.

What I do not understand is, if the script editor contains a field "Scripts" in which one writes scripts, why one cannot put unicodeText into it just as one does in any other texrtField?

I wonder how one can enter unicodeText directly into the script editor?

When one wants to put a script into an object without opening the script
editor one does this sort of thing:

set the script of btn "unicodeTest" to fld "Nonsense"

now, if fld "nonsense" contains unicodeText that just ends up delivering
gobbledegook.

this:

set the useUnicode to true
set the script of btn "unicodeTest" to fld "Nonsense"

is no better . . .

the reason for this, presumably, is that when one enters unicodeText
into a fld the

set the useUnicode to true  is directly addressed to the fld, while in
my rather feeble attempt above it is aimed at the script rather than the
script entry field of
the script editor

if one tries this sort of thing:

set the useUnicode to true
set the unicodeText of fld "Scripts" of the script of btn "unicodeTest"
to fld "Nonsense"

an error is thrown.

Richmond.
