My JES2 1.7 manual that I referred to earlier looks like this (don't know
how this will display):
5.1.1.2 Command syntax
...
Not equal to symbol
Within this book, we use the not equal symbol set (¬ =) to set a
selection to mean "not equal to", but your keyboard might not support
the use of the ¬ symbol. Consoles support the ¬ character; personal
computers typically do not. However, you can use your terminal
emulator or keyboard mapping to map the shift 6 key ( ¨) to the
hexadecimal value for¬. Alternatively, using the symbol set "less
than-greater than" (<>) can provide this same, "not-equal-to",
definition.
My 1.4 version of the manual does not contain this paragraph.
