   Hi Maurice,   
      
   MK> How does this look to you?  I am testing a da_DK.utf8 MSG   
      
   As you might remember I have built into my editor conversion from-to   
   various character codes.

   When I saw the above I got a bit confused because the character codes   
   for the lower case '”' didn't agree with the chr.codes I had.   
      
   However, after studying character code lists I found that there really   
   is a lowercase slashed o letter.   
      
   I didn't recall that and it is "hidden" among the mathematical symbols at   
   PC8 code 237 and the slashed capital O is to be found among the graphical   
   chrs of PC8 as code 216. This is often used as a replacement for zero.   
      
      
   Have a good night,
