I have a new Dell laptop with XP; it doesn't have a number pad.
It  does have a NumLk key.  I tried this using the number keys 
with and without the NumLk on.  Neither one worked.  I did put 
a shortcut to the special characters program on my desktop. 
So now I can swear !&#*% more easily.  :-)

I've been busy, so to catch up, thanks to the Marines on their 
birthday and all the service people on Veterans Day.  And thanks 
to David A. for the wonderful slide shows.  And I wish I had a 
topo program so I could see those !&#*% ridges Felix is 
worried about.  

The moonlight hike last night was great.  Thirteen people 
walked from the campfire site about ? mile to a small lake which
was beautiful in the moonlight.  A huge bat house sits near the 
shore.  We all stopped talking for a few minutes and just 
listened for night sounds.  Then we walked back and lit the fire 
and had s'mores and hot drinks, and I told ghost stories.
