Hmm. When I hit alt-0233, I get one of these: !

Cheers!
Rich

I can say with cetainty that I received an exclaimation point.

Hopeless?

Maybe not. If what I received is what you sent then the same code
is displaying the same character on the screen on both ends. JW and
I seem to have the same settings (odd because he said he used
winders 98), but you either have your locale set differently or
something I haven't though of.

I'm set for English(United State) - Regional and Language settings
in control panel.

Character map isn't working here for omega so I'd better blow it
off.

alt-0233 = é with NumLock ON or OFF, Win2K machine

...Jim Thompson

On my Win2k machine Alt 130 is the é and Alt 233 is this ?. I use the é a
fair amount because it's in my gf's name.



é 130
T 233 == I'm different here

as JW said earlier, there's a diff between typing and not typing
the leading zero and this is verified in the winders help.

different code pages

ß 0223
é 0233

that question mark you got is what happens when I try to paste on
in from character map.

Good thing we don't have to communicate with these characters.

It's easier to say
