I'm not sure why you are asking.  I suppose there is something preventing you
from going ahead and typing them in?  Could you explain to us what it is?

If it is the strange character sequences, like "\<<", then check page 626 of
your owner's manual.  You will find a table showing you what to type in for such
sequences.  If you see objects that need ASC-> to convert them, you'll need to
get a copy of ASC->.  Send me mail if you need a copy.  Sometimes programs are
posted uuencoded, although I haven't seen any recently.  For those, you would
need a uudecoder.  However, they are likely to be binary, which means you will
not be able to type them in.
