Hello Jean - 

CA>> It's not that those of us in the USA don't care. Speaking
CA>> for myself, I can't go looking for a key-code I don't even
CA>> know exists. 

JP> With TseJr. it is all there, up to 255. 

Yes, I have QEDIT v3R, the last QEDIT prior to the renaming to
TseJr. 

CA>> Being an American I am monolinqual 

JP> Not to worry, we can and do communicate. I only use two and
JP> feel bad as all my siblings are polyglot. My one brother
JP> speaks Fr, En, De, Sp and still communicates in latin. 

I took Latin in HS (two years) but the Roman pronounciation and
spelling varies a bit from that used by the clergy. 

--8<--cut 

CA>> I'm guessing you are referring to unicode? FIDO software
CA>> is (generally) unable to reproduce ASCII above 255 

JP> Nope, only up to 255 here. All the BBSes that I accessed
JP> over the years did honour the 255 ASCII codes. Maybe before
JP> my time then the 128 and up were not recognized. I think
JP> that maybe the Commodore ones did not for a long while. 

The alt-key combination and number you posted was 400+, not
doable without unicode. 

JP> Are we not happy with the fact that whoever started our
JP> system used letters to represent sounds and not icon /
JP> images as the orientals do, including the arabs, to
JP> represent words. Our way, we can use the same letters to
JP> write any of our languages. 

Honestly it would seem so but the pictograms don't seem to have
slowed the Japanese, Chinese, or any others one bit. The human
mind has an astounding capacity for logic. 

JP> That little town in northen Judea, I forget the name, sure
JP> helped the world come up. 

Bethlehem?
