I don't suppose someone could forward me a copy of the original
wishlist? Just I'm gonna be maintaining the FAQ here, I am told, and
it might have a place in there (depending on how big it is!)
Hello everyone, by the way :-)

I don't know about US keyboards, but my UK device has an otherwise
useless key to the left of the 1 digit, under Esc, which has three
symbols on it: ` =AC and |, although to get | I push shift-\.
Perhaps a use could be made for the =AC character? I've no idea how
it'll come out on your machines, but on my system it's a top right
hand corner of a single thickness ASCII box!
