In my case, I used the KDE application "KCharSelect". I manually hunt through the tables for the character I want (which sucks), click on the characters I want, and copy and paste them into my editor. Back in Ancient Days when I ran Mac OS 6, I had memorised many keyboard shortcuts for these things. Option-4 was the pound sign, I believe, and Option-Shift-4 the cent sign. Or perhaps the other way around? -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
