Thanks David,
I hope I can repay the favour one day.
Perhaps I can find some more typos in your "IDL Programming Techniques"
manual.

I've had about a dozen pair of eyeballs giving the
new book a once over in preparation for the big
release coming up in about a week. The odd thing
is they are finding all the typos in the text I
didn't change at all!
If ever there was a need for Open Source book
publishing, it would be to get rid of typos!
The damn things are insidious. But I want you to
know that if you report them, I fix them within
about 5 minutes of receiving the report, that's
how much I hate them. Alas, I've given up all
hope of perfection, but I still strive for
diligence. :-)
Cheers,
David

Try this:
http://www.unicode.org/charts/web.html
On my PC, I always use the Programs->Accessories->Character Map
application that is standard on Windows platforms. The Unicode
is listed in the lower-right corner as you click on characters.
Cheers,
David
