re: #227 Belafon
Thanks. It doesn’t appear until you release the Alt. That one works. Like I’ll remember 0163, though.
Here is a link to a chart of windows alt characters. Print it out and keep it around your keyboard.
I have a nice character chart I got years ago with CorelDraw. It has been handy all along.
Use the Window’s ANSI/ISO Latin-1/ANSI Extended ASCII side. Always hold down the ALT key while typing in the number code, and as you say, as soon as you release the ALT key the special character will appear.
