I'll bet it does. And the reason Rev talks about scripting cautions is
that those Mac characters aren't represented in the windows tables. I
think I have a pretty clear idea now which characters to avoid using in
scripts.
Out of the 255 Characters in the Macintosh set there are 25 that are
not represented in the Windows character set. Of those I think there
are only 3 that are used in scripting.
They are:
≠ not equal, < > should be used instead
≤ less than or equal, =< should be used instead
≥ greater then or equal, >= should be used instead
There might also be an issue with the " / " fraction character as
it isn't represented in the Windows character set either.

If any one else can add to this list please feel free to do so.
Thanks so much to you all.
