QWERTY keyboards are often missing the Alt-Gr key, though. It's unlikely that a new key will be added because that would require rewrites of a lot of keyboard drivers. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |

? = if that works it's ALt + Fn then MJK8 (or thats where the little num pad keys are on my keyboard are) - but I can never remember 0128 ? Hmm - it looked like a Euro symbol before I posted it - but now it looks like a question mark. |

Mr Nichols is posting through Juno so I suspect he is American, in which case he has no Gr key. It's unlikely that a new key will be added because that would require rewrites of a lot of keyboard drivers. It can easily be done with a new font, though. ************* DAVE HATUNEN ) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |
