Details

We attempted to fix the editor code to work with the new definition of key events, and discovered that the Windows key event generation code apparently sets a key code of VK_DELETE, or something similar that tells the editor to delete a character, when the user types a period. The key code should be null whenever the char code is set.

i can't fix this yet. most of the editor's handling of non-character generating keys (backspace, tab, etc.) still relies on the virtual key code being set. buster@netscape.com had talked about doing a branch and fixing the key handling stuff -- that sounds like a better time to do this, since these changes really require testing on all 3 platforms.
