That's the shortcut which you'll find useful, Josh. SHIFT with READ with the ASCII number corresponding to the character. However, the reason why I have not yet replied to your question is that I have to load my Spanish (and is German the other one you're using?) computer table, and then check. I'll also give you a reference list. There's something else I'd like you to try that I cannot confirm because I don't use a QT. Just give me time. Thank you Maria for re-posting this. At the same time, I think it would help if I send you a consolidated BT and QT command summary so that you can refer to it when you're posting answers and thus won't have to write: "I don't know the QT commands but if you use the context-sensitive help, you'll find out what it is" or something to that effect, <grin>. Give me time, too, I have to update it.
