Could you elaborate on this?
What characters are you talking about, exactly?  Latin accented
characters like "à" (a grave) or "ü" (u umlaut)?
What keyboard/input method are you using?

Starting with WASTE version 3.0, you should use WESetEventTarget()
to let WASTE install Carbon event handlers for text input on an
event target, like a window or a control.  Something like this:

    OSStatus MyInstallWASTEHandlersOnWindow(WindowRef inWindow,
WEReference inWE)
    {
        return WESetEventTarget(GetWindowEventTarget(inWindow),
            weTextInputEvents, inWE);
    }

This is the only way for WASTE to support all available keyboards
and input methods, including Unicode-only keyboards that were not
available to previous versions of WASTE.

rainforest of human thought and mow the thing down.
