That is pretty much what the description of {bu} suggests, but it can lead to minor confusions when the same character is used in different functions: slash for division and subaddressing, say, and when the same function is ma5rked by different characters -- in different programming languages, for example. It might also be sueful to have use-independent names for the characters, for discussion of their various uses. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get a NextCard Visa, in 30 seconds! 1.
