GOTCHA!! I was born in Houston, raised in California... ironically - Livermore, California... LOL.. did a lot of years in the US Army, that's how I found NZ... love it here...
Weather is good here... been a mild summer to break a drought we had for a few years... but today is 21C and looking good...

>>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...
