I used refer a great deal when writing my thesis a few years ago. I had occasion to use accented letters in names and the like, but did so as follows: %A D. Lelgemann %D October 1981 %J Manuscripta Geod\(aetica %N 2 %P 157-191 %T On Numerical Properties of Interpolation with Harmonic Kernel Functions %V 6 %K QB275 .B84 %W McKimmie library This worked quite well for me. Perhaps it will be a solution for you too. I cannot help you with your other problem. Dean [snip ...] -- Dean Provins, P.
