Usually in a laptop for using a keyboard as a numeric pad you must activate this function or, in other ones, is only necessary to press both "Fn" & "Alt" keys.
e.g. <Fn><Alt> pressed and "j"(1) "k"(2) "o"(6).

The keboard is the standard Italian layout, which is missing the ~ (tilde) key. For reasons unknown, typing <Ctrl> <Alt> 126, which I understand is the standard ASCII code, does not produce the desired symbol (any combination of keys seems to fail...) Can anyone advice how to produce the ~ symbol, short of a copy/paste from MS Word? Regards, Federico Calboli -- ================================= Federico C. F.
