Anyone know how can i make that character appear? Thanks. <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> </blockquote> Don't know what bc command is, but: Using pclos I can print a ^ without any tricks, and having set a compose key, I can type hôtel, for instance, in the terminal. I just tried it. I would be surprised if your Ubuntu machine won't do that. (I have US keyboard with the compose key set up for the right CTRL key. If you have a k/b with Microsoft keys, you could make the right M/S key your control key--it's not good for anything else.) Generally speaking, any character I can print in KWrite, or LibreOffice or Thunderbird mail, I can print in the terminal. And most mail readers can reproduce the foreign characters OK too. I'm sure you can set up a compose key in Ubuntu--I have probably done it myself in the past, when I was messing with Ubuntu. That distro has superb documentation, so look it up. I've never seen a command that used a foreign character, but I believe that some complicated bash commands use the ^ by itself, so you shouldn't even need a compose key for that. --doug <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Blessed are the peacekeepers...for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.
