Stephen,
Thanks for your feedback! And, you know the new CASEP, COLLATE etc. tables were required in The Glorious R:BASE 2000 for Windows (ver 6.5) and higher to handle such issues. Our talented and dedicated R:Team appreciate your feedback. The upcoming inline patch-1 for TGRB2000 6.5++ for Windows, to be released shortly, will also handle the display of "Euro" charcater at the mighty R> prompt. Very Best Regards, Razzak.
