Ever want to use the degree symbol instead of typing the word "degree"?

If yes:

With "Numlock" ON. hold down the alt key and type 0176 (USING THE
KEYPAD).

Take a gander at this for a lot more. A little tricky to start but
comprehensive at the finish.

Why not just use the built-in Windows Character Map?
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Character Map
But first figure out what font you use in Usenet. I use Courier
because of its easy reading and monospace (fixed-width) style. (When
someone posts an ascii graphic, I can see it right away.)
