REXX predates Unicode, I think, or at least its widespread adoption, but it has a non-ASCII operator: http://www.rexswain.com/rexx.html#operators But personally, I've always used backslash. It's nothing to do with ASCII and everything to do with having it on the keyboard. Before you get a language that uses full Unicode, you'll need to have fairly generally available keyboards that have those keys. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
