Actually I think there were a number of misunderstandings in this thread. I was genuinely concerned that computer science students do not seem to receive information about the use of the extended character set and the problems of posting those characters on the Net. Computer science graduates seem to be unaware of the problems that their use on the Net can create. My response was not a flame of the individual student. Does that clear the confusion ? Or add to it ? 8-) Bye,
