Use a text editor that can incorperate non-printable characters.  Use 
it and type 169 (decimal).  E.g the Norton Editor works: Cntrl-P 
ALT169.  The strange thing is that the dialog editor of the MS SDK 
doesn't recognize non-printable characters, while they are allowed in 
the .rc file.  Even more strange is that if you type it in the .rc (or 
dlg) file and change it again with the dialog editor the (c) shows 
up; don't delete it because you can't retype it!!! 
Is this the same with the WRT?
