Anyone had success with bullets and Applix Words RTF?

What I have tried (modifying HTML32hc.dsl and jade 0.8 on linux)) :

I changed the defaults from HTML32hc.dsl

(define %dingbat-font-family% "Wingdings")

to

(define %dingbat-font-family% "Zapf Dingbats")

and left

(define %disk-bullet% "l")

This appears to write the right thing out (almost) but Applix words
wants the RTF sequence to be surrounded by '{}', i.e., {\f2 l}
If I hand edit the file and add the braces around the bullet, all is well.

Is this a bug in Applix words or is this something that can easily
be fixed?  Is there a way I can get what I want using a hex symbol
since I noticed that RtfFOTBuilder.cxx/symbolChar() actually surrounds
it's object by {}.  If I start a new document in Applix Words and do a bullet
using the default 'Symbol' font, the rtf output is {\f2 \'b7}
I assume that \'b7 is meaningful, but its not to me, and I don't
know how to get that into the .dsl file.

Cheers,
Glenn
