104104 2002-12-08 00:13:00 Obviously this post comes from my doze box.. i canno figure out how to type any of thosé special chars while on my Linux box. I'm sure its really easy, it took me years to find out about Alt+whatever in 'doze but this doesn't seem to work in *nix

Can someone share the secret(s) with me ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿

104106 2002-12-08 07:31:00 0189 is the ASCII code for half which can be found by holding the alt key down plus (on your num pad) '0189'

If you can find an old ASCII table, you'll get the rest of the codes for quarter etc

There still remains the problem that if i hold down the "alt" key on my SuSE8 Linux box i can type any number i like and it will produce no responce at all. Is there somewhere i must tick to enable these specail characters in this operating system?
