Ahh... works great! Thanks....
In case any one else is interested in this, I must not have fully
understood what Maarten Buis was suggesting, because I literally
substituted
_char(233)cart
for
ecart
when I wanted the first "e" to be "e accent aigu." This was in one or
more titles within a -graph-
This did not work, but
-local eaigu=char(233)-
-graph ......... title ("... `eaigu'cart ...")
did the trick.
