Georgetown and cruisers (was) Rock Sound, Eleuthera to Georgetown, Exuma

... I'm sitting here in my yacht (74.1F inside, 78.6F outside) trying to figure out your thinking process (or lack thereof), Skippy. It almost appears dysfunctional. Why, when working on a computer that contains a program (charmap.exe) that you can run by typing it into the run menu or from the start menu or even create a shortcut for the desktop or the task bar, would anybody want a sheet of printed paper with the alt codes on it? Open charmap.exe and select any character and it will give the alt code and other information. Select copy and the character(s) goes to the clip board hit control + v to insert the special character(s) in the text you are working on. Do you ALWAYS do things the hard way? Wilbur Hubbard |
