Oooh. Most cool! So glad I've switched to vim for mail :). If not using vim, then there's also keyboard maps ( I think they're due to dead keys ). <alt>-v maps to ö, <alt>-d maps to ä, <alt>-\ maps to Ü. Don't know why that one goes to capital. Shift reverses case for each of those. <alt>-_ maps to ß. That's <alt>-<shift>--. I don't know how to find out what the mapping is besides just trying everything. For the final desperate ploy open up a web browser to a german web page and cut and paste the chars. I used to keep all the German chars at the bottom of my home page for that method when I got stuck on someone else's box. ciao, der.hans -- # [EMAIL PROTECTED] home.pages.de/~lufthans/ www.DevelopOnline.com # Only wimps use tape backup: _real_ men just upload their important # stuff on ftp, and let the rest of the world mirror it. -- Linus Torvalds
