I hope someone can clear up a simple issue. I am using an English keyboard

In the script file I have the £ sign but when text is placed in a document all I get is a small box. Can anyone tell me what character I need to put in the script to create the £ sign on output.

thanks

Steve

Please post your code.

What command "places" text in a "document"?
Are you using Send?
Document = Word? Maybe Notepad? WordPerfect, OpenOffice?...
I don't think it's about what keyboard you have, but I've only used US QWERT...

Code:
; FYI this works for me in notepad and Firefox.
Send, £

Using the Arial Font the british pound is found by pressing and holding the alt key while typing 0163 on the numeric keypad

£

Other extended keys may be found by using the windows CharMap.exe utility.
