Hi, I had something similar a few weeks back. Even though you cannot type it in you can paste it so I opened a txt file, typed the & there and then copied it - went back to WinBMD and used ctrl-v to paste. Worked for me !! Or you can follow the TKB - para 6(ah) if I have it right - and use the underscore and a comment. the same section suggests a third option of editing the file once it has been sent to FreeBMD land. Options, options!! Whichever you do hope it works...
