Hi Jackie, Those two little dots over the vowel that Geoff mentioned: it's called an umlaut. Really looks like.. but above the vowel, not on the line as I've put it (can't be done properly on here, probably can on a German typewriter). Brian, ;-x) |

fräulein - is that better? (You hold down the Alt key, type 132, then release the Alt key and you get "ä") |
