I think that would be very good. Another nice interface would be a list of languages, each with a list of its various non-ASCII characters for you to copy. Another nice interface would be a list of Unicode code pages, each one prepared to generate a buffer of all the characters in that code page using a simple loop. It would be nice to offer all of them. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org, www.gnu.org
