Well at least I know I am not crazy.  I have also asked for some input from support at CuteSoft.  We shall  see.

The first reply I got was to use CuteEditor_OnChange event and to look at the javascript API and modify code as I needed.  However, it seems to be beyond my pay grade.  I am a self taught "programmer" and I will have to continue to apply my will to this one I guess.
