Turns out there's a nice little GNOME applet that can help with this. It's called "Character Picker" and uses an area of the panelbar to display those characters. You can use the normal cut mouse operation to get the desired character into the X clipboard, and then paste it in wherever needed, although one needs a knowledgable app to handle it. Luckily, gnome-terminal is such a one... :-) Good luck. --Jay++ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jay A Estabrook Alpha Engineering - LINUX Project Compaq Computer Corp. - MRO1-2/K15 (508) 467-2080 200 Forest Street, Marlboro MA 01752 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
