Re: [IUG] Global change with diacritics

["Jackson, Richard" <rjackson at huntington dot org>]

We have had no difficulty changing diacritics with Global Update.  You
do have to use the numbers in curly braces.  For example, finding {226}
and replacing it with {225} will change an acute accent to a grave.  I
sometimes have to look at the records in telnet first to see exactly how
the diacritics are stored.

Sorry for the late response -- just got back from vacation.

Thanks for the confirmation. We had hit on the cut-and-paste method, but
it is at least comforting that we aren't the only ones who can't enter
diacritics in global update.
