Re: CXS/IPA question

Eric and Jeffrey: thanks for the suggestions. The problem is, I'm using IPA
in the text.  I see there's a centralized diacritic, dieresis (CXS _"); I'll
see if I can get that to work with IPA M\, but I may end up just using the
IPA M\ with some ad-hoc rules for its behavior. (As the approx. equivalent
of G it's fine...we'll just have to see, some ideas are simmering, for ex.
turning M\ into [1] isn't too weird.... (I'm going to have to do a lot of
revision about h\ anyway :-(((((( )
