[EMAIL PROTECTED] huff]$ echo $LANG en_US Since i hadn't thought of that at all, i googled LANG sort environment and you're on the right track. I have to run off, but later i will look into a few of these links. Hopefully there is a way to change some of these variables. It looks like LC_COLLATE might help... Thanks for the tip. eric
