Your answer pointed me to the right thing: the second

        CASE key.Control
          STOP EVENT
        END SELECT

was somehow confusing it. No idea what let me including it here, did it 
have any special effect in Gambas1? Anyway, when I quote it out, the 
accents are there again.

Thank you!
