They also work in ordinary windows apps. I have windows set up to know I'm in the UK, for spelling, input and output local, time format, date format, etc, etc, etc. I have "CYGWIN=ntsec tty codepage:oem" in my environment, I don't know if that makes a difference. Also, I'm using Win2k SP2. That's about everything I can think of to help. Good Luck. /John Vincent. >From: "Tony Arnold" >To: "'John Vincent'" , >CC: >Subject: RE: How to type an eurosign >Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2002 13:50:58 +0100 > > > I don't have experience with the euro sign, but I use > > the UK pound sign (on a UK keyboard).

I use rxvt to run my bash shell and I use the Lucida >Console-P font.
