> PROBLEM 1: commas cannot be written in [text3d]
> Since [text3d] is fed messages, if I write a message like:
> "yes I am sure, however"
> The message will be come two messages and the comma of course won't be

> PROBLEM 2: spanish accents like á é í ó ú have some troubles in [text3d].
> If I write "avión", the accent will be there without a problem and it will
> display: "avión".
> But if I write "avió", the "ó" will not be there entirely and it will only
> display: "avi".
> So what seems to be happening is that the accented vowel needs to be inside
> a word, but if it is by itself or at the end of a word it will not be
> displayed at all.
