Confirmed. Same results here. Cut'n'paste to xterm as specified doesn't work. I can successfully cut'n'paste that line to XChat or Evolution, but the "emdash" is replaced by a ? or _ in those programs. I have no idea why. Just wanted to confirm this problem was not only your system. -Ryan -- Powered by Red Hat Linux 8.0
