Well that's one example right there. "Hell" and three question marks seems somewhat rude. > if you would read back thru thread, you will see that i was interested > in finding out what program rui [if that is what has brought this about] > was referring to. my using hex to relate to what i was seeing in his > reply was not meant to be offensive and because i do not have keyboard > set up to print special marks, i used what i did. Instead of "so just what in hell is 'Mir[0xef 0xbf,0xbd]'???", I suggest that you write something like "That seems to have been garbled and I can't figure it out. What was the name of the program?" That would be a nicer tone and would also help us understand you better. As you saw, I didn't understand at first that you asked for the name. I tought you complained about a garbled message.
