Its always great to learn something new - now I know unicode.  Had heard
a lot about it, but now I understand it (see http://www.unicode.org).
so now my bullet problem has gone away and "\bullet" works great!
Thanks James.

As always, we come back for more... I am trying to use
&Delta (the math symbol) and it shows up correctly in
the RTF file.  But when I print to postscript (apple laser writer
driver from WindowsNT) the delta turns into a '?' in every location.

What gives?  When I select the delta in the RTF file, it says it
is Times-Roman and has the right unicode number.  Does this mean
a postscript problem? (i.e., no unicode support).  Or a printer
driver problem?  I noticed that when I do a Word document and include
a Delta, that the font it uses is 'Symbol'.  But with unicode,
shouldn't Times-Roman work okay?

Cheers,
Glenn
