You know what. I never thought about the input. I'm using a file that's created by someone other than me. That person happens to be from another country (that uses the accented characters and eat bagettes)... I'll bet someone a coke that that's it.

For the record, the machine that it DOES work on, is my machine -- has canna and kinput2 running at all time, and I go in and out of Japanese. The machine it doesn't work on is English only.

Either way, the text file is an absolute mess, which is why I'm working on it in the first place.

Cheers to everyone for their input!
