    I have a charachter map for the symbols. It is an alt key trick and
    corresponding codes using the numbers on the left side of the keyboard. I
    will explain:

    Using notepad I press and hold down the alt key wil punching the code 0174
    that = ?
    If you want to get silly go to the site
    http://www.ae.utexas.edu/~mcdonald/map.html they offer HTML source codes

    but the link http://www.ae.utexas.edu/~mcdonald/ascii.html will list the
    codes
    >From this site you will read: § = ? (scroll to find it) to
    produce that symbol hold down the alt key and punch code 0167
    notice I dropped the &# as they are the codes to use within HTML
    to play in notepad substitute the alt key and a 0 before the numbers.
    Let me show off:
    $era?er$ that's me in a fun chat with my nephew
    $o?`?o$o,,,,o$o? insert stuff `?o$o,,,,o$o?`?o$ ....I have this saved on
    notepad for the same chat for a quick copy/paste and then I change it to
    read: $o?`?o$o,,,,o$o? Hello Folks! `?o$o,,,,o$o?`?o$
    Are ya thirsty for more?
     ~$?ebo?ah$ is an eyecatcher in a loaded room...I monitor my nephew that
    way and it has been a nice hook to teach him about computers. Mac users
    can delight in the fun as well. I have a chart from a font company that
    shows the use of the shift key as well as an Op key (I don't know the Op
    finction)
