OK, now I'm totally confused. :-)

Just one more test, if you don't mind. I presume you might
get the right symbol if you DON'T use the UNICODE keyword.
Which would probably mean you are using the "normal" Symbol
font. Perhaps the one that comes with IDL. Humm. Maybe
to get the Apple Symbol font you have to use FONT=0.

Just don't know. Too much confusion. Why do you suppose
Apple would do this? They are acting more and more like
Microsoft by the day. :-)

Cheers,

David
