Thanks. I'm a little surprised there isn't a semi-'standard' method, a
little along the lines of the DOS Alt-key method which most M$ apps seem to
support. However, I can now generate £££ signs (and any others) at will,
which was the object of my query, so thank you all.
Regards

This is probably an elementary query, but I can't find the answer in any help
files!
How does one produce a special (i.e. non-keyboard) ASCII character in a Linux
or X application (like text editors etc)? For example, the pounds sign,
chr$(163).
Alt + <num keypad> doesn't seem to work.
