CTRL-P tells it to wait for ANOTHER ctrl-? key. Another ctrl-p makes a large triangle pointing right, ctrl-q make the opposite direction, ctrl-a makes a smiley face, etc. Alt-007 is self-dependent. It does not need ctrl-p and can work from (almost) any text editor or even the DOS pormpt. Note: the numbers typed for alt-00? MUST be on the numeric pad. -- "DeHackEd" Remove "nospam." from my email address to reply. It's too late to run when you hear the boom.
