A while ago the biggest number that evaluated to a character (that I could not display) was 1114111 (evaluated to "?􏿿 "). Now, I can only go up to 127 (#o177, #x7f, ?\C-?) and 128 evaluates to (#o200, #x80) which looks like the ASCII character set, but I was under the impression that Emacs had its own character set... What's going on here ? Jean-Christophe Helary ----------------------------------------------- http://mac4translators.blogspot.com @brandelune
