Particularly, there is major opposition from the Murdoch press. In fact, many have said that our next General Election will be fought on a "save the pound" basis by the Conservatives. Not to get too political or anything, but that is the kind of argument which really annoys me: "Why should we have the Euro?" "Because it's inevitable...". (Yes, that DOES seem to be the main argument all its proponents seem to be putting forward (to the General Public)). Anyway, here's what I want to know:- How do I get joe (and less) to deal with the pound symbol properly but still escape the nasty low chars (0-31) (escape codes can be pretty dangerous under an xterm)? -- Tom Lees <tom@lpsg.demon.co.uk> <tom@debian.org> http://www.lpsg.demon.co.uk/ PGP Key: finger tom@master.debian.org, http://www.lpsg.demon.co.uk/pgpkeys.asc.
