Yeah yeah... I like your style, Emmanuel. ;-) Emmanuel reminds us here that
there are a zillion Unicode characters which still can't be compiled in
AppleScript. Not even the several thousand "international text" characters
which were available pre-Unicode days. Just MacRoman characters. (I think
Chris has said that the primary Mac variety of the encoding language on your
computer will compile, but I've forgotten the details.) Sorry for glossing
over this. The mailing list is good about transmitting all of these
characters now, I think, but not from AppleScripts, where they never make it
in in the first place...

Drat, I knew there was another one (two, of course: « and » ) and couldn't
remember what they were. Thanks, Emmanuel.
