Just for the sake of feedback, those characters came through
perfectly on my machine.

I took umlauted "a" as a test. Non-Tame graphics mode shows a

that's decimal 228. Note that the character shows up in Eudora
correctly

Harry, the Web is giving you ANSI values. Unless you're using Ansified
Xy (as Manuel does) or ANSIFS (see Robert's post of 11/21/06; see it
and the previous ones for a thorough discussion of the ANSI/ASCII
differences), you need to enter Xy's ASCII values. To find out what
they are, command Table Speedos. Copy that table to a file,
and save it, then print it out, and keep it by the system.
Alternatively, you can assign each of the accents to a key, then use
that in conjunction with the desired letter key (see my example in my
previous post).

Try these simple examples, typing the numbers on the keypad while
holding down Ctrl+alt:

ü	129		u umlaut
é	130		e acute
â	131		a circumflex
ä	132		a umlaut
à	133		a grave
ë	137		e umlaut
è	138		e grave
ï	139		i umlaut
î	140		i circumflex
ì	141		i grave
Ä	142		A umlaut

The first column will probably NOT come over correctly on the Net,
because the Net, and all our e-mail clients, use ANSI; but the numbers
should give you the characters described in the third column.

That still doesn't solve why you're getting 437 as VA LA, but get your
numbers straight first.
