In the 2+ years that Decus C has been distributed, this is the first I have heard of this problem (but I use it on vms, rsts, and rt11). I would suggest that Chuck (and anyone else with this problem) check the terminal setup modes and/or the terminal software. Based on my experience with rsts/e, I would guess that, if you set the terminal to upper-and-lower-case mode, the brace will be seen as a graphic character, not as altmode. Martin Minow decvax!minow
