Thanks Bill;
Seems I'm not the only one who has short cuts for umlauts.  Your sequences 
are different so I'm wondering if our machines are not alike either.  We 
could go on for days with this, but to save the listers sanity, I'll figure 
this out on my own or contact you offline.  It's been ages since we last 
corresponded anyway!
Wishing all the best,
Donna Baxmeyer
