Subject: Encoding issues...

I am playing more with encodings and having some problems.

I pasted the text below from web pages... when I view the source in
a browser as UTF-8, it appears correct.

But running it gives an error.

I'm sure I'm doing something dumb here, but I can't see it.

Note that the "encoding" comment is on line 2 of the source...

Thanks,
Hal
