Actually you need to put a zero at the beginning of the number. Without =
the
zero, Windows translates the number from the ancient DOS codepage into =
the
Windows character set, and substitutes symbols like + or - for characters
that have no equivalent. So for instance, alt-131 is =E2, but alt-0131 is=
=83
(looks like an italic f).
