Thanks, that helps.
But after noticing an'&' I want to 'disappear'
All characters form the field. But I need to process
those characters in the event handler.
I've already bound '<Key'> to inputevent.
Are you saying if I just do:  return 'break' from
inputevent the characters will never see light?

I'll try it.
