Irwin,

You basically do the calculation Jonathan described in his post - you assume conversion (thus increasing the number of shares) but subtract out the interest or dividend payment. If the result is a lower EPS, that is the number you report, in which case the fully diluted number of shares would include the shares resulting from the assumed conversion.

BTW, re-reading my post to which Jonathan was replying (as I should have done earlier) I see that he was correct in pointing out that for convertibles one doesn't use the treasury stock method in calculating dilution (as I incorrectly implied in that post). My apologies.
