[dba-Tech] Special characters

Jon,

I get the same thing here, but hey, now I know how to get the Euro sign,
which was half my question. I tried it in Word and got the Euro sign.
However, here in Gmail I get nothing at all, with or without the Shift key
added. In Word, adding the Shift key gives me nothing at all.
