It should be possible to come up with a modified shell that uses the Euro character (the Euro character denotes the new European currency and has been introduced into character sets lately - � is option-shift-d on my Mac) instead. :-) This is one area where I like Common Lisp. The Common Lisp standard does not use the dollar sign AFAIK for any special purposes. So Common Lisp is a "non-imperialistic" programming language. Implementations may differ, though. ;-) The ANSI standard should be updated though to include the Euro character. ;-) -- Rainer Joswig, Hamburg, Germany Email: mailto:joswig@corporate-world.lisp.de Web: http://corporate-world.lisp.de/
