     Ok, I *ALMOST* have the following edit working to un-unicode a field.
I just have a problem with how to quote the < and > character:

ununi  °{ {!" "!} @ | !&amp;!<&> | !&lt;!<"<"> | !&gt;!<"<"> | *}

    This string works OK for 1 or more "&amp;" strings.  It removes the
"&amp;", replaces it with an "&" and closes up the extra spaces.

    However, with a "test &lt; test" string, it gives leaves me with a
string looking like "test &lt; test" and with "test &gt; test" it gives me a
syntax error.   

The following string seems to work:

ununi  °{ {!" "!} @ | !&amp;!<&> | !&lt;!<z> | !&gt;!<q> | *}

    any suggestions?

Thanks!
