Thanks to all of you who have replied to my request for help. I've chosen to reply to your message, Jernej, because when I used the Alt+0128, suggested by Urban, Peter, and Costas either directly or through the links to which the pointed me, I noticed that the character set in which I was writing the message changed to the Latin 9 apparently on its own. On the page to which Urban pointed me, I found this footnote to the entry for "Others" in the answer to the "How do I access the euro symbol?" list: "On standard US keyboards, hold down either the Alt key and type 0128 on the numeric keypad part of your keyboard. The AltGr combinations listed are not implemented on US keyboard, as users expect both right and left Alt keys to have the same effect." As I am using a US keyboard, the Alt+0128 was all I have access to. Amusingly, I checked this link... http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/html/euro.html ... (before I posted my request here), and it said if Alt+0128 works I should "consider it an illusion." ;-) Marten, you could be right that it would be better to use something other than monetary symbols. We'll see whether my Australian friend, to whom I am writing, will see it as the Euro symbol or not. Again, thanks to you all for your help. -- Regards, Perry Using The Bat! v3.99.6 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.99 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
