On my keyboard, the r-alt ^ 0 sequence gives me the degree symbol: ° Interestingly, the sequence r-alt 0 ^ also gives me that. So obviously the r-alt 0 can't work in this case. I don't know what gives me the 0 exponent. I haven't messed with any mappings other than to set right-alt as my compose key. This is a standard Ubuntu 6.10 system. Cheers JP
