	can somebody help me catch the OOo "'" (aposhtrophe)?  It's a triplet
	of the hex chars, xe2, x80, x90, which should be seeable by getchar()
	[[or *not*?]].  The octal are 0342, 0200, and 0220.

	The first is, is a-circumflex.  Why doesn't 

		if ((ch1 = getchar()) == '\0342') or, more simply,
		if ((ch1 = getchar()) == '\342')
	catch the first?  Is getchar limited to only 7 bytes??

	tx,

	gary
