  This is more a FYI message than anything....

  Some users (like ME :-) do not use the CBM supplied font(s). This means
  that the Copyright symbol (ALT E) is not represented as a "C" inside a
  circle. So remember that just because you see the copyright symbol on
  YOUR Amiga's screen, it may not look the same on other Amiga's.
