I have been working on a little stack to practice my Czech grammar with.
I have a field with the correct hard adjective declension, basically a bunch
of words I want to memorize, and a button which asks for one of them and
checks that I type it in correctly.
               /
One word is novy including the accent mark above y. Now I have a Czech font
which uses option-y for accented y, so the field includes n-o-v-option-y
as the first word of line 1.

But  " Put word 1 of line 1 of card field 2 into card field 3" 
gets me only "nov", so I assume that hypercard doesn't recognize option-y
as part of a word. I hacked around this by adding periods at the end
of all the offending words, but is there a better way?
