I would imagine that this would only work in natural keyboard mode, right?  
WM_CHAR/WM_UCHAR are not recognized by MESS in emulated keyboard mode; in

A debugger for the CoCo, or the Vectrex, or whatever system is being 
emulated. 

A Google Images search came up with the following screenshot; admittedly for 
MAME but the debugger is the same:

Use '-nodirectx' at the command line.
