Somewhere in the bowels of old Fox kernel (if the beast may be described in those words), there's a certain sensitivity towards characters in the 129-159 range, as they can be viewed as chr(1)-chr(31) with eight bit set. The chr(141) (i.e. carriage return with 8th bit set) has a special position, because it was once the "soft return" used in FoxPlus's code editor.

Though, memo binary shouldn't be sensitive to anything at all, it should simply allow any character. However, that's true in replace, insert or append memo; don't know if the text may undergo some transformation when it's pasted into an editbox.

You may try to trap ctrl+v in editbox.keypress (though I'm not sure that'll work) and then just
