>what's A3800 in a currency I can understnd

David - "A3" appearing in an e-mail message usually means a UK pound 
sign was originally typed in that position - so A3800 would be 800 UK 
pounds. The problem arises because the basic ASCII character set does 
not include the appropriate fancy "L" (for libra) symbol. UK 
keyboards often have a pound sign where US ones have the hash sign 
(US usage often treats this # as equivalent to "pound" or "number").

regards

Rowland
