Note that you have to have your language environment set up correctly though (you can do this with `M-x set-language-environment'). In many LEs, typing `C-q 244 RET' will give you character 164 in latin-1, which is the `currency sign', not a euro sign (latin-1 doesn't have a euro sign), and looks quite different. [I can get `C-q 244 RET' to produce a euro-sign if my language environment is set to `latin-9', but most other language environment seem to give me the currency sign.] -Miles -- `Life is a boundless sea of bitterness'
