Alt and Special Characters

[Aperitif]

Can the forum reply screen support Alt+0nnn without zooming backwards one page and dumping one's hard composed contents, or should these characters be avoided?

It should do - the ALT+0nnn key combo is just a shortcut method to special characters.

Avoid ALT+B though, as this is a browser shortcut for "back" which *will* get rid of what you've typed, forcing you to start again.

Cheers,
Shaun

Silly question maybe, but have you got the NUM LOCK key on?

I've used Alt+xxx with no problems. I agree with 661-Pete, it could be your num lock, as Alt+left arrow = back.
