Thanks, I had tried [35( with [makefilename %c] before. Needed a [symbol] before sending, though. When I print (in parallel) to the console I get C#, when I send to the canvas I get C$ on the canvas.
It has been annoying me for years. I don't know if it is a bug in canvas or something that's done on purpose. And if it is on purpose how I could make it work? I tried C \# or C\# but still get C$. I can't be the only one having this issue. How does anyone else do this?
