  9.                       Note to my British users:
  10.  
  11. If  you are attempting to enter a 'pound' sign into a character  field 
  12. in my program, use this methodology on your PC keyboard:
  13.  
  14.                        Hold down the 'ALT' key
  15.                   Enter '156' on the numeric keypad
  16.  
  17. Note  that you will be holding down the 'ALT' key WHILE you enter  the 
  18. digits '156'.   Upon entering these digits, a 'pound' sign will appear 
  19. in your character field.
  20.  
  21. To  print  out the 'pound' character,  however,  your printer must  be 
  22. capable of printing out the 'extended character set',  or those  ASCII 
  23. values above '126'.  
  24.  
  25. This methodology will create ASCII character '156'.
