Thanks for this but I'll pass! The number of characters available without macmeta is large, about 47x2 at a quick count, and I know no way of getting them other than using maps or :digraphs. However, macmeta is so useful and the number of characters I'm likely to use is small. I simply have a bigger job than I wanted but I'll get used to what I have to do.
