But this time, the escaped characters will be displayed like what you have there. But if I once again log-in correctly, and then log-out, the banner displayed on that VC would be correct again. I can't figure out what's wrong either. W -- Man, I broke my G string trying to finger a minor... Now my guitar is useless.
