Hi Doug!<BR><BR>Yes, DZ = Doppelzimmer, WC = wc, B = Bad, but YOU????????? I have never seen this acronym. Can you double check? The letter Y is very rare in German.<BR><BR>Harzer

Very clever Harzer!

No doubt that's what happened, Harzer. That is toooo funny!!

Blush, looking at my source, I realise now I'd run it through Babelfish and hadn't looked back! Du, of course. I'm used to seeing it as D, eg B/D/WC, and hadn't noticed that the email had DX/DU/WC/B!<BR><BR>Thanks!

I'm only surprised that Rex didn't have a wonderful answer to this question. It seems like the type of post that he would have made up some expert advice on, even if he had no idea what it meant.
