To find Character map on Windows 98, go into Programs, the scroll down to Accessories, then down to System Tools, then down to Character Map. However, I did not find a pounds symbol among all of the characters listed. I think the best bet is to use alt 156, or alt 0163 experiment with the alt key followed by various 3 or 4 digit numbers and see what you find. My keyboard has a numerals 'pad' at the right end. Numbers lock is on the top row immediately above the numeral 7. I found these special characters with the numbers lock signal illuminated. I find the degrees symbol by using alt 0186, and the symbol for fahrenheit at alt 0131 For some reason I haven't discovered, these symbols don't come up for e-mail. maybe someone can tell me why. Good luck Bob Lewis <lewis@doorpi.net>
