Hi Dane,

One way you could type a pound sign is by using the Paste Special
Character script available on Script Central at

https://www.gwmicro.com/Script_Central/Scripts/Script_Details/?scriptid=1069

Here are the details of this script:

Paste Special Character 1.5  by
Jamal Mazrui

When the focused control supports editable text, press Insert-F2 to paste a 
character
into it. A dialog lets you specify the character either by picking from a list 
box
or typing in an edit box. The list box contains 255 character names, -- 
essentially
the ANSI sequence before higher Unicode numbers. The code number of each 
character
is the same as its item number in the list box. If you enter a code number in 
the
edit box, it will be used instead of a list item. If only digits are entered, a 
decimal
number is assumed. use the letter u as a prefix to indicate a Unicode number in 
hex.
For example, the copyright symbol may be pasted by entering either 169 or ua9 as
the code number. The character specified through the dialog is then placed on 
the
clipboard, pasted, and spoken. Previous text on the clipboard is restored. If 
the
Jump to Item script is also loaded, you can quickly go to a character name , 
based
on text it contains. If the Toggle Punctuation script is also loaded, its all 
punctuation
setting is helpful for hearing non-alphanumeric characters when reading. This 
global
script requires GW Toolkit.

I hope this helps.

Regards Steve.
