  I've tried to run HC together with the oldest keyboard for the Macintosh
(the small one without the numerical keyboard). This type of keyboard works
fine with all programs but HC!

  When you enter text into a field from that keyboard, pushing the space-key
sends an enterKey message to the fld, and the field is closed.  The result of
this bug (?) is thatalltextinfieldslooklikethis:nospace, unless you use
clipboard to paste a " " between every word.

  The space-key works in the script-editor but not in the flds!

  I've seen this problem with HC 2.0 and according to a friend, it's the same
with the other versions. I've tried it on a MacPlus and an upgraded 512, with
three different small keyboards (Swedish) with the same result. All the other
(non-ADB) keyboards works OK.


  Has anyone else seen this problem?
