That's fine for human consumption on a Windows box, but be aware that: (1) If the character is going to be consumed by software, character 255 is not the same as ASCII space, and will likely be interpreted differently. (2) If this will end up in an email, web page, or other network thing, the non-ASCII character is likely to make things very interesting. Myself, if I had to do this, I would prolly use GECHO.EXE (the GNU "echo" utility from http://unxutils.sf.net/), but only because I already have that close to hand. There are prolly other ways that don't require a third-party utility. gecho " " -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
