In article you write: > >I thought on a lot of Central and Eastern European keyboards it was just >GreyAlt-Q? At least that's worked from the places I've tried it. Hmmm. GreyAlt-Q eh? That sounds intuituve (suuure it does), but when you've dropped your 17 swiss francs for three minutes connect time at an internet kiosk in the Zurich airport (approx USdollar value: $42) and the seconds are counting down, 13....12.....11....10..... somehow "GreyAlt-Q" isn't the first thing that comes to mind. Nor the seventeenth. I did managed to copy and paste a "@" using the german trackball mouse thingy, I think. I did get the email sent, but many of the letters were wrong, as the keyboard was very screwed up. German instructions would be much easier to understand if they'd shorten most of the words. Maybe I should file a bug report. >If push comes to shove and it is a Windows machine ALT+0064 typed on the >number keys works most of the time since '@ is Unicode character 0x0040. >Its a dumb way to remember it, but Unicode is twice as bit-wide as ASCII and >a 64-bit machine is twice as bit-wide as mine, so I just dream of 64-bits >when sending email on a strange keyboard. Hey, I said it was dumb. I have no recollection what the OS might have been, but I do recall that AOL was a prominently featured for email access option. This did not fill me with confidence. Still, I'll keep the ATL+0064 in mind. Regards, -Don
