Hmm, any non-American C/C++ programmer learns very quickly how to type a hash on any keyboard they're working on... But in general, on a Mac, if you want to know what your keyboard can generate with any key combination in any font just make sure you have "Show input menu in menu bar" checked in the International Preferences panel - then from the menu bar menu, which will appear as a small union flag if you've correctly set your language preference, you can select the Keyboard Viewer which shows a full keyboard that updates its keycaps as you press keys or combinations of keys. You can also select the Character Palette, choose a font, select any character and have it inserted at the insertion point of the window with focus, even if there's no way to generate that particular character from the keyboard. > My quest, incidentally, was to try and persuade this machine to > connect to the internet via a GPRS mobile.

I use a MacBook Pro with a GPRS mobile (via bluetooth) all the time (on Vodafone though). Anything I can help with? (mail me off list if you like). -- Andy Greener n.b.
