The characters file is exactly what I want, but unless I write a c program to append eachchar to the file I am working on I can't figure out how to type them. The suggestion about LC_TYPE sent me searching for this variable in my environment and it wasn't there. I did find LC_ALL, but changing it and creating the LC_TYPE variable and setting them to iso8859-1 didn't fix it either. Maybe I will just go use someone else's computer to type this stuff. grin Sorry for so many messages, but this list has been my best resource in getting things working. Thanks all!
