Does alt 3 not give you a #?

Tsk, PCW store staff... Don't get me started. The techs in the clinic are sound but there are a fair few muppets amongst the salesmen as well as some OK ones.

Exactly. One of my main griped!. Not nice, if you spend a lot of your time writing LISP code :erm:

(btw, it doesn't have an 'end' key either)

I have on one my mac keyboard and I do not have Applekeys running, I use the backslash key right next to the enter key.

as for the end key, mine is on the right arrow key...also pg up, pg down and home are all in the cursor cluster.

Just wish I could use print screen, without the need for Apple Keys.

Yes... perticularly if you use a pc keyboard with the mac..

I managed to download a keymap config to my mac mini "windows - british" that swaps those 2 around (can't remember where i got it from now) however certian apps seem to insist on changing it back to English - UK even though i set the "windows - britsh to the deafult" :Yikes: :mad:
