He he :-) Thank Marcel, because of his hack of Xchange 3.90M and N I was on an "Xchange" wavelength.

Xchange allows up to 50 translates, but the driver can only be 286 bytes total IIRC, so as the lengthy pre and post ambles took up a good chunk of this, I think it's limited to a couple of dozen translates of the most common accented characters. Using <PRE> text seems to cope with most simple things, good enough for what I wanted. You can see a sample of what html_dat produced on www.dilwyn.uk6.net/versions/index.html which links ot the Abacus spreadsheet in which I keep my version numbers list and to a html-ised version for comparison. Not all of the QL character set has equivalents, but most does. The easy option is to translate say up arrow to [UP] (OK, cheating I know, but so what) Dilwyn -- Dilwyn Jones
