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.
