Robert,
thank you for the hint! The documentation alone may be precise, but a 
simple example like yours usually is very helpful for me.
The essential parts of the user interface now look like this: see below 
(attached is an exetable version if you want to test it's handling)
I have only two minor concerns:
- you may not directly call attActionObj.Do in order to flush the last 
event, because it's "implement-only exported". On the other hand I do 
not really mind repeating ONE line of code.
- This form of the user interface is  not intended for people, who type 
at very low speed. Btw: what is the English term for "one finger search 
system" if it circles above the keyboard like an eagle?
Apart from that, I like it. :-)
best wishes
gunnar
