The one the <DD>keyboard has no trouble with is "/". However, a real division sign "Ã·" is an <DD>ascii character that has no keyboard equivalent on any keyboard, Mac or <DD>Windows, that I've ever seen. The ascii equivalent of this character is <DD>"247". The easiest way to enter it into an email, at least on a Windows <DD>machine, is to hold down the ALT key and enter the number "247" and let go <DD>of the alt key. That's how I did it above. This will work with pretty much <DD>any ascii character that is a) available in the font you are using, and b) <DD>isn't also a control code. However, you MUST use the numeric keypad for this <DD>to work. The numbers keys above the letters are a different keyboard code <DD>and will not generate the character symbols. <DD>Another good website for both ascii character codes and extended ascii codes <DD>for html is <A href="http://ascii.cl/">http://ascii.cl/</A>. <DD>-- Geoff Sykes <DD>-- Assoc.
