Wow....... that was fast. :)

Question though, from a guy who’s never really understood character sets all that well. Is it common knowledge that the escape characters noted in the quick reference require a leading zero in order to be ‘escaped’ properly?

Or is this just a Windows thing? Or is there some other explanation?

When I type ALT + 174 I get this: «

When I type ALT + 0174 I get this: ®

I’m not trying to nit pick, I’m just curious if I’m the only one who needs reminding about the zero’s. :) Or, are you using some other key combo to escape the characters?

O.K. last silly thought of the night.... with all these fancy graphical enhancements, I’m surprised that this key combo --> :) still shows up as ASCII characters. I was kind of expecting it to render as a little happy face graphic. Perhaps substituting the character for a little .gif or something. But maybe that’s too much like MS Word. We don’t want LUGNET to start thinking for us. ;)

Thanks Todd. This is good stuff.

All the best, Allan B.
