Plain tex says: \chardef\ss="19 so you can try \chardef\SS="19 (just try not stick to it) and (I cannot type ss here, so imagine q to be ss): \catcode`q=\active \def q{\char"19\relax} At least this should give you some cues. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
