 I write. I write for a living. I write on my cube, when I can. Then I have
 to hand the copy in to an editor.   Said (human :) editor sits in front 
 of a PC. My text is usually in French, contains all these nice accents
 which the french seem to need like salt and pepper.

  There is a DOS Ascii character set, and a Windows character set. 

  HOW THE HELL IS ONE SUPPOSED TO MOVE TEXT TO EITHER? 
  AM I THE ONLY MAN IN THE WORLD WHO GETS ANGRY ABOUT THIS?
  OH, YES, I KNOW ABOUT RTF. ON THE NEXT RTF MEANS NEXT_RTF :(

  ARGH.

 Edmund (who also happens to be a NeXT developper, but can't be bothered)
