What are those ALT-combinations you're talking about?

There's an easy way to do it in Win98. You can define hotkeys (that is, combination of keys for performing a macro or inserting a symbol). Do it like this: - Insert > Symbol; - highlight the character, e.g. a barred t; - click on "Keyboard..." - type your combination, e.g. "CTRL-1,T" (if u want prefix key) or "CTRL-ALT-T" and click on "Define" From now on this combiation becomes a hotkey for your character.
