We have run into one problem. Hypercard thinks that 'i' and '(accent mark)i' are the same thing. Is there any easy way around this? charToNum comes up with an acceptable answer, but I would hate to have to do that to whole words as slow as Hyper talk is, an XFNC would be OK, but I would rather not have to write it. So. Anybody have any easy work arounds I have missed? Thanks very much! Dave Reeck REECK@LCLARK.BITNET !tektronix!reed!lclark!reeck
