Thanks a lot!

As many times as I have written uuf, I've never noticed the Greek
letter "Mu" was what I was seeing printed in books that I read.

After seeing Your Reply I tried Alt 230 in Notepad to see the Micro
character.

I will try typing a ALT 230 character at the end of this line . .
That's funny, I can see the Greek letter on my screen when I typed that
just now. HMMMMM   Beats me.

What I will call a "tail" starts at the beginning of the Micro character
and is at the end of the lower case U character.

All this time and I thought both were using the u character.
Thank You! for Educating Ed.

I also remember seeing "m" being used for micro - as in mmf.
That probably was a long time ago and the Greek letter is in common
use now, I guess?  (For those in the know, which I'm not one of)

I get terms messed up all the time, Yes I did mean high ASCII.
Again thanks.
