But......he showed me how to operate some keyboarding sysmbols that help when dealing with the technical subjects we like.<P>Like 75° - the little ° ........... Hold down the alt key ..(alt) then type 248 on the numeric pad (num loc "on"). When you release the (alt) key the symbol will appear.</P><P>The holding of the (alt) key and typing some 3 digit numbers invokes various symbols. For instance:</P><P>(alt)241 = ±</P><P>(alt)253 = ² (number squared symbol)</P><P>There are apparently many others - these just happen to be the ones I remembered!Sun, 08 Oct 2006 11:12:52 GMTGREENBIRD56
