Sometimes I want to curse TeX, believe me... Seriously though, I have a 
real phobia for all that low low-level stuff...

Did u have a chance 2 look at my general solution 4 medium fonts? I would 
like to generalize it to bold and small caps but I don't understand how to 
set up a conditionals macro that expands in accordance with the 
surrounding font. I need sthing like

\ifboldtrue
\IBARA % parameterized for bold fonts
\else
\ifsctrue
\IBARB % parameterized for sc fonts
\else
\IBAR  % parameterized for medium fonts
\fi\fi

I don't get it; when I run this as given I don't get any accents; I just 
get
<he sirdi!> Am I missing something?

Thnx 2 all
