I googled on "vi unicode numeric" and didn't like the results, so I googled on "vim unicode numeric" and found a Wikipedia entry as the first result. It suggests using CTRL-V in vim, and ":help i_CTRL-V_digit" to find out how. <CTRL-v>uffff in INSERT mode inserts a character with the unicode value 0xFFFF. Note that I don't use vim. I don't know how to do this in vi. ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
