Dear Carl Yes, using ADUAL/NV seems to solve the problem, thanks. Paul On 04/11/2016 17:06, Carl Distefano wrote: Paul, Is there a translation taking place during copying? As I recall, you're using the U2 frames ACOPY|APASTE, or ADUAL, for copying and pasting from the clipboard. If so, it is true that these frames perform a Windows-to-"OEM" translation. You can disable it by using APASTE/NV, or ADUAL/NV (with cursor in text), for pasting. Let me know if this makes a difference, or not.
