Good deal. % also. I guess my understanding of real ASCII text is mistaken. I thought Perhaps so. I would class "real ASCII" as "just ASCII". Of course, everything I typed is ASCII because I don't use EBCDIC in my editor :-) What you might mean is something like "a simple ASCII reader". % that because I saw bold text in mails sent to me (back when I was % exclusively using Eudora under Win) that I could do the same. I guess % they were some kind of HTML thing. Not necessarily; see my example still above. % % I'll stick with using *bold* like this. It works for me :) I certainly agree :-) % % Thanks again.
