How does one type in characters on a PC that aren't visible on the
keyboard?

I want to type in the degree symbol (you know - the little circle).  I'm
using SPRINT, but perhaps there's an application-independent way to do
this?

I know that the PC will print the degree symbol to the screen, and on a
printer, because I've moved files over from my Atari ST containing the
degree symbol, and they look fine on the screen and on the printer.

If there's a chart of all the "special" characters and the associated
keystrokes, I'd love to get hold of it.  I'd be happy to send a SASE...

P.S. I did RTFM!


Thanks in advance,



Eric Terrell
