How would you expect it to work? Would you expect it to apply to one line at a time, to the whole screen (compacting several lines into fewer lines), to a rectangular region on the screen, or what? What if, due to the number of "special" characters, a line becomes longer than the screen width? What other factors to you feel need to be considered? What clever ideas can be "borrowed" from those who are already providing such a feature? What do others think? What do those who speak languages other than English think? -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
