The big problem with textShouldChange (and thus the current  
implementation) is that it only allows YES or NO insert this string,  
you can't modify the string. No problem a single character, but if  
someone drags or paste let's say ATTAATAGATGAF then you would  
disallow that because it contains the F. What you want however is to  
allow it, but filter the F.
A solution in the context of what you had in mind would be to  
delegate the filtering to the controller in those methods that I  
override, which is easy to do and elegant.
Cheers,
Alex

     Claiming that the Macintosh is inferior to Windows
     because most people use Windows, is like saying
     that all other restaurants serve food that is
     inferior to McDonalds
