I like UTF-8 also, but there are so many warnings in BLFS that I don’t use it on my laptop. I did open the hint in vim on my laptop and there are some lines that are *reeeeeeeaaaallllly* long. I’m editing. Gotta make the hint readable by everyone so all is fine. Your info tells me that my iMac and minimal knowledge of its apps are OK. Thanks, Ken. Dan
