        Hello Alan, we were saying ! 

 AZ> ASCII characters (going to 255) are used in DOS and DOS-based
 AZ> programs

        That is the set that TSE Jr. uses.

 AZ> Alt+0233 gives me é (an accented 'e' in case this doesn't display
 AZ> properly) on this Dell notebook running WinXP (in Notepad); but I need
 AZ> to remember to hold the FN key down and use the keys with numbers on
 AZ> them for the 'numeric keypad' overlaid on the standard letter keys.

        All same-same here on the Thinkpad.

 AZ> Doing that, Alt+0216 is Ø (an 'O' with a line through it), and
 AZ> Alt+0248 is ø

        And I can use this Alt-0248 if I look out the window, the
        thermometer is at 3ø C here.

        This conversation about ASCII is very interresting but not as
  much as working on a G4...I just hate that glide pad ! Yesterday, a
  friend came here with a non-connecting Mac. I played with it and it
  saw our AP here, identified it properly by its MAC address, 88% of
  signal strength, but no out-ing nor in-ing. I then connected an
  RJ-11 to it and got the same results. The handshake took place
  properly and it connected at 48,000. Further investigation showed
  that the firewall was activated at full protection. Now, brace
  yourself... the owner did not remember the PW ! ! ! Typical Mac
  user, I would say. He does not know the first thing about even
  looking at his HD's content. He was forever saying: Ha ! How did you
  get this on the screen ? Nice machine though, a PowerBook. 3 hour
  battery is my envy. This confirms my opinion that Mac users are so
  different from PC users, my son included. He uses his machine quite
  well but does not know it at all. He asked me to use my Thinkpad to
  see his monthly assignment, saw it too. His G4 does not. Go search !
  I will say nothing about the cost vs my G-41.

     
       Again in Kamouraska !
  Have a great day !
