It may perhaps be far too late to reconsider, but I'm not sure I like these notations. These are three mutually-exclusive settings along one axis, they are not three independent settings on three different axes, such as /l vs /g. Would it not make more sense to group them up under a single /u flag, something of the following: m/Unicode on/u m/Unicode off/u0 m/Unicode if locale says/ul m/Unicode traditionally/ut -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd@leonerd.org.uk ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk/Thread Previous | Thread Next
