True, strictly speaking. But he did say: >>Input of the above languages will also be supported through the following >>system-level Unicode input methods: Unicode Hex Input, US Extended, and the >>Character Palette.<< Note the key words: "system-level" and "Unicode Hex Input." AFAIK, Mac software that is not Unicode-based cannot make use of things like the Unicode hex input method. It seems highly unlikely to me that any non-Unicode software would be described in these terms. But we'll have to wait for official confirmation, I suppose. I do remember that when I installed the hex input method, it was available for Unicode-savvy programs like TextEdit and not available when older software was running. David
