I was toying with the idea of adding this to the SQL external itself, but I seem to be running into a problem that I can't troubleshoot, as it doesn't appear to have any rhyme or reason as to why it acts that way. </DIV><DIV><BR class="webkit-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Thanks for your help,</DIV><DIV><BR class="webkit-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Mike</DIV><DIV><BR class="webkit-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR><DIV class="gmail_quote"> On Nov 19, 2007 4:10 PM, Hans-Christoph Steiner <<A href="mailto:hans@eds.org">hans@eds.org</A>> wrote:<BR><BLOCKQUOTE class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><DIV style="word-wrap:break-word"> <DIV><BR></DIV><DIV>I cc'ed the list since it's of general interest.</DIV><DIV><BR></DIV><DIV>This message is called [append( for lists/atoms and [key( for individual keystrokes (i.e. "space" makes a space char). </DIV><FONT color="#888888"><DIV><BR></DIV><DIV>.hc</DIV></FONT><DIV><DIV></DIV><DIV class="Wj3C7c"><BR><DIV><DIV>On Nov 19, 2007, at 4:17 PM, Mike McGonagle wrote:</DIV><BR><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite">Hans,<DIV><BR></DIV><DIV> I was wondering if it would be possible to add some messages that [text] would use to append its buffer?
