[AT] Degree symbol--know how?

[Larry D Goss]

LOL!  That's one of the differences between your computers (and their 
keyboards) from the ones we use on this side of the pond, Mattias.  You 
probably have multiple language sets installed on your computer with each 
one reassigning letter locations on your keyboard.  It's unusual over here 
to have anything other than American English installed on our computers.

253 for square 2 and 252 for cubic 3 but then my list say it's the nordic
version so who knows.
