It takes octal arguments - to insert a German "ss", just use C-q 0-3-3-7-return - six keystrokes, and you should get a ß inserted at the point. (You won't get anything printable for 0000 octal through 0037 - 0040 is a space, though - and from 0200 through 0237 (128 through 159 in decimal).) -- Patrick "The Chief Instigator" Humphrey (patrick@io.com) Houston, Texas chiefinstigator.us.tt/aeros.php (TCI's 2006-07 Houston Aeros) AA#2273 LAST GAME: Peoria 8, Houston 2 (April 3) NEXT GAME: Friday, April 6 at Peoria, 7:35
