using a Mac, right?

No ain' *that innernesting. It was suing in the post I was responding to, but it's using in the In response to: box below. I was going to make a wiseass comment about wanting to sue a Mac, but no.

No, I'm at work using a Winbox.

Edit: Now it's a nice little using just like it's sposed to oughta be.

Yeah, I went back and edited a couple of typoes, 'cause I caught 'em and knew you'd pick up on suing Mac instead of using Mac, so, yeah, I'll admit I changed that.

Glad to see you're showing your true merciless colors, there, Faldo.

Just wondering if the "-" went too. It didn't

I used a program for some time recently and thought that the date entered in the field before a notes field was prone to change erratically. I suddenly noticed, that entering a "-" in the text of the notes took the date back a day. I finally solved it when I realised that writing a "+" took it forward a day. I had some mighty strnage notes before the company improved the software.

Basketball iMac here, using OS 10.1

plus from the keyboard is +
plus from the number pad is +
ampersand from the keyboard is &

Now to post it and see what happens:

Edit 1: came out exactly as written on the first posting
Edit 2: came out exactly as written after editing
Edit 3: came out exactly as written that time too. WoN, it must be something idiosyncratic to your system. Happy hunting :-)

My machine uses I.E. 6.0

Here's a + sign.

Now I've edited it. Is the + sign still there I wonder?

Well it is in the preview. Now for the ultimate test.
