The reason my previous seemed kind of corny is that I seem to recall that if you are calling anything above the ASCII 1 table (0 -127), all is well; but in order to call anything from the extended ASCII set (128-255), you must be using a modifier to get there..... I cannot recall it all (been a busy day, already had some help from Sergey, again!!) but I will look it up tonight...
