On my last message in this thread, the text should have appeared as follows: My computers are configured for the U.S. International keyboard. With that, the keystroke for the euro symbol (�) is Ctr-Alt-5. Alt-$ would, of course, apply only to a French keyboard (yours, for example), as it's the only one for which the numerals require the shift key and the special characters are unshifted. On other keyboards, it would be probably be Ctrl-Alt-4, which, on my keyboard, yields the generic currency symbol (� - spiky circle). For some reason, my default of Western European ISO had reverted to US-ASCII. This revised version is correctly encoded. Bill Potts, CMS Roseville, CA http://metric1.org [SI Navigator]
