I found a bug in command completion in AS.
It probably won't bug many people, but, it bug me!
If you want to use diacritics then command completion won't let you.
For instance, if I want to write the following:
say "viva Sco Paulo!"
what I can write in SE is
say "viva Sao Paulo"
The tilde is not allowed to go over the "a" where it should be.
Obviously the list server has churned up what you're trying to do,
Deivy -
but FWIW I seem to be able to get it here. (ASCII character 139, type
{"S",
option-"n", "a", "o"}, British keyboard layout, AS 1.8.3, Geneva font.)
How can I be so dumb ???
I should know by now that the server would do that, shouldn't I?
Actually, I forgot to say that this is for SE 2.0 v36.
We are up in arms and ready for a revolution....
Sounds to me like you're plotting a character assassination... ;-)

I beg to disagree! Actually, Apple, via de AS team, has already
perpetrated the character assassination.....

You're saying option-n, a doesn't work ?!
Actually, no. I am saying that if one types "S", "option-n", "a" ,"o",
then one gets S tilde a o, that i, the tilde is not over the a.
On the other hand if one types "option-n", "a" ,"o", then one gets
tilde-a o, or, the tilde is over the a where it should be.
The problem is if one has a letter before the "tilded" a.
This of course in the SE 2.0 v36 mentioned above.
And apparently this is only with tildes.
I have no problem with this, though I can't vouch for say's Brazilian
accent -- sounds nasal enough to me!
What happens when you run this (in SE2 of course):
set _script to make document
set text of _script to "say \"viva S" & (ASCII character 139) & "o
Paolo\""
execute _script
JD
It errs in the make document, which does not seem right, but I did not
check.
However:
set k to "viva S" & (ASCII character 139) & "o Paulo"
say k
k
returns the S tilde-a o correctly.
Thanks for both, I'd appreciate it if you could confirm the tilde
problem.
