Wouldn't it be possible to say "good at disputation" and "good at the art of throwing potsherds"?

I prefer "good" for "kusala" because it covers the meaning of both "skillful" and "morally right". While "good" has a wide range of meanings just as it is with "kusala", "skillful" only means "having or showing skill".

Come again? I go to the page anyway. I've been there but might have missed the information about using Unicode in ME.

Anyway, I've got some Unicode fonts, but it seems I lack a Unicode-enabled word processor. I'm quite comfortable with my current processor, Lotus Word Pro, and don't feel like getting MS Word just to be able to do Unicode. Anyone know of any free word processors that does Unicode? (like, StarOffice, Office.org, etc.)

peace
