Hi Tom: I don't know about a bug but certainly a woops. Just delete that numbersign in front of the alt keycode_76 and recompile. That should help with your extended characters as well. I've fixed it in my copy so the next I check in it will be fixed in cvs. thanx Kirk -- Kirk Reiser The Computer Braille Facility e-mail: kirk at braille.uwo.ca University of Western Ontario phone: (519) 661-3061
