The application is a test panel in which the operator
would be required to change a character or two in the
the serial number and other fields before the next unit
is tested. Extra operations increase test time and cost.
A character by character overwrite is the best way to
handle that task.
I am using a key prehandler now to intercept certain
control keys for changing object focus. It would be an
option to write something to substitute in alpha characters,
but I suspect its going to be just a matter of time before
TC makes it a standard xform function.
