                                        May 15, 1991

I've got the DeadKeyConvert() example code (in RKM and AmigaMail) for
reference, but want to use it in conjunction with my usual IDCMP support
module and fear that I might have a problem.

Normally, I use a separate task to read, copy, and immediately reply
to all incoming IDCMP messages. The comment in AmigaMail that the
iAddress field in the IntuiMessage that needs to go into the ieAddr
field in the InputEvent for RawKeyConvert() is validf "until the 
IntuiMessage is replied" caught my attention.

I take this to mean that running the DeadKeyConvert() code on the copy
of the previously replied IntuiMessage will probably cause problems.
Can anyone verify or deny this?

The meaning of this iAddress field for RawKey messages is not at all
clear from the doc ("magic" previous codes?). Can anyone explain what is
going on?

Thanks,
