[comp.sys.mac.programmer] text intercept

How to intercept the key character by a DA ?

For example:
 When Word or MacWrite is open, I would like to make my DA intercept the
 text inputs and modify them and put them back into Word or MacWrite.

Welcome any suggestions.      s j moon.

Thanks always.

You could always write your driver to be called as often as possible
and just check the event list for all key down events.  Then you could
grab them and put them back on the list.  Rather easy way, but I am
sure you will miss quite a lot of events.  Maybe not, let me know if 
it works.
