Just giving you some UTF-8 text, is all. I see and can write the same as you, I
just went with the first ALT combination I could think of. :)

I'm currently using 2.5.2 on both of my systems, and haven't had a problem with
it.

Msged may be similar, but I don't think it's better whatsoever. They both look
at the same translation files.. so there's really no comparison.

As for WeBeBashing, as I've always told you, once you get it user/sysop
friendly.. I'll give it a test run (which may in fact require curses based
menuing/lists/etc). :) 

Regards,
Nick
