IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE AND IT WOULD HELP ME USE THE POUND SIGN, BUT................
oops CAPS on...
it doesnt answer the question. i know how to find the pound sign and i am aware of
the slight differances between the keyboard layouts- i have been using it like that
for a while now (thanks any way ;) )
however, what i want, is to to ONLY asign the £ sign to a hot key and leave every
thing else intact.
where if anywhere would i be able to assign diferent charecters to a key?
