Thanks for the idea on variables. I tried it out and it works great. I don't like that I have to import these variables into future documents, but I will if I need to. That's why I was hoping to add the symbols to a menu, so they'd always be there for any FM document. I got that working, but

Oh, and as a suggestion, I've found that characters of glyphs that I use really often are best set up in variables. I keep the variables pod open at the bottom of my screen and if I need a particular character, all I have to do is double-click on the variable. You don't even have to type a code

The \x tells Frame you are using the Hex code to enter a character. It is used for fields in dialog boxes. This is specific to Frame. I believe that the \u tells Frame you are using a Unicode to enter a character. I don't think it can be used in dialog boxes, but I've never tried. Where are you
