MS Internet Explorer renders a euro symbol if you encode € and I now discover that if you do: put numtochar(128) into field 1 field 1 gets a euro symbol, the htmltext is: <p>€</p> and if you put chartonum(char 1 of field 1), you get the result 128 The mac now has euro in ascii 219, IIRC, Replacing the "currency" symbol that was there before. What was that for ? (it looks like a circle with a solid white centre superimposed over an X). I don't recall ever seeing it used. Clearly Apple thought it was dispensable.
