Sorry, I believe in the transactional model of QM, and the future has already reached back in time and grabbed | and &. :-) : *Generally available meaning in all of the Shift-JIS, Big5, and : Unicode sets, assuming there are some that aren't Kanji I believe & and | already satisfy that particular constraint. :-) So does X, for that matter. Now, we'd be in real trouble if we'd picked \ for xor, since that's the yen sign in Japanese. Larry
