If you are replacing each char, then you need a repeat loop that calls the
lookup function once for each char.
--button script
on mouseup
repeat for each char CH in fld input
put lookupchar(CH) after newString
end repeat
put newString into fld output
answer "You bidding has been done, Master" & cr & \
fld input & " has been converted to " & cr & \
fld ouput
end mouseup
