Hi Jan:

Well... I guess that explains it -- Apple made an Apple Font entitled 
"Apple Symbols" for OS-X, which can only be used by Windoze 
applications which don't run on OS-X.

I must be missing something here -- because no matter how many times 
I cut that rope, it's still too short.

Thanks.

tedd
