Should I understand that one can edit UTF-8 files; one just can't see most of the characters. I guess any meaningful editing must be done with macros. (I don't yet have access to 2.1.) What happens if I turn HEX ON? Will it show the value of the Unicode code point, or of the UTF-8 sequence of bytes. Generally, neither can be represented in two hex digits.

So if my UTF-8 file I have: ==> Polyglot <== A common Russian phrase is "ОЧЕНЬ ХОРОШО". The Greek might be "ΠΟΛΥ ΚΑΛΑ." ... will those commands transform it to: ==> polyglot <== a common russian phrase is "очень хорошо". the greek might be "πολυ καλα." ... even as Vim and LibreOffice do, and even if I can't see it? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
