I'm finishing up a shorthand system using java. Everything works great
with the textAreaName.replaceRange command except puncuations like"."
and ",". So if I tyoe "ot" I get "what" but if I type "." the "."
insists on inserting itself at carotPos. I can't do a cut, paste, or
anythiong that inserts a space after the ".". I'm processing the
input witnh a keyPressed event. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks.
