[AT] Degree symbol--know how?

Wed Dec 13 13:39:55 PST 2006

Oops, I ment to write a little more and in a slightly better english
(hopefully) Yes we have multiple language packages including english and
english (american). The first old DOS computers I used didn't have our
language specific buttons, then I mean the computers didn't have it because
they often had integreated keyboards, not even some swedish ones.
