It does not use the letter 'x'. It recommends the raised dot, but uses a times sign, '×'. To get the times sign, hit the Compose key, then 'x' twice. To get the raised dot, hit the Compose key, then '^' and '.' (I think the latter combination may behave differently in certain programs, in which case you can type '·' in one program and copy and paste it into another). > I have yet to see a recommendation to use a star (*), can you provide one? '*' has been used for multiplication in computer languages for decades, since neither '×' nor '·' is an ASCII character. Pierre -- sei do'anai mi'a djuno puze'e noroi nalselganse srera
