Cool. Thanks - both of you! That makes sense to me now.

You'll have to talk to Dave Rhodes regarding NiftySearch accommodating Mandarin/Chinese characters... I'm not sure he'd be reading this thread?

Sorry for changing the traditional characters to simplified - I didn't realize it was causing a problem or annoying anyone. My thought behind that really was that simplified characters are the ones used in Mainland China.
Tell you what, I'll find a way to get the traditional characters and transcribe them sometime this weekend. I probably will find something I could use on Google.

Well this could help: http://translate.google.com/#zh-CN/zh-TW/ It will translate Simplified to Traditional.

Of course this is a really moot point anyway, since the Nifty Search can't handle Mandarin characters. Nor will it probably ever.

Sorry about being an annoyance. I will not bug you anymore.

I'm listing all the Chinese script, as written in the strip, that I'm able to find (and read). Translations have been posted earlier.
