Here in a land still unspoiled by full government spending, if our students use extended ascii alt strings, they don't remember how to spell the word. "H... if ah know...thank its guta bucncha numbers in it. Reckon when ya spell 'em fancy word its cawled ortho GRAFY". All seriousness aside, what may make sense to us as a no-fuss way to make accents, might be a problem for home folks;-) TBob -- ========================================================== Look it up in the Andy Holt Virtual Library http://www.utm.edu/vlibrary/vlhome.shtml ========================================================== Robert D.
