Hi This is what I submitted to RDCC today " 1. IN rbase-l there has been a lengty discuusion on this subject. 2. For the win version : If I do set curr ' ' pre 2 C I will have warning 398, If I do the same from the menu I will recive warning 402. Mixup with delim char. 3. If in my windows setting I choose decimal point and thousand space (corresponding to set curr ' ' pre 2 B) and start for exampel Excel my decimal comma on my nueric keypad is converted to decimal point. Rbase for WIN does not do that. I expect R:Base to behave like most other windowsprograms. 4. I myself are using the B standrad in Rbase. In R:Base for dos I have solved the problem with a freeware converting the mummeric keypad for me. The reason I USE RBase B convention is to be able to the delimit comma. If I could keep the delimit comma with Rbase setting C for currency I would do that since the C setting correspond to swedish standard. Since I decide to try to realy move to windows with upcomming 7.0 I need really one of two things A. If i run convention B to replace my decimal sign on the numeric keypad to what I stated in the windows setting or B. to able to run C convention (or A) but at same time keep the delimit to comma

Finally the people that are concerned about currency format, are more than I first thought and they 've learned to live with it. What exactly were the problems with the win 6.5++ Rbase, related to currency format? Polychronis T.
