from OneLook quick definition (now Macmillan dictionary): verb → to ask someone to show a document that proves their age, especially in a bar → to achieve a particular score, especially in golf → to give a player a red card or yellow card in soccer, for bad behavior → to pull a tool like a comb through wool or cotton to make it ready for spinning

You know? I'm impressed! The verb to card exists. In thruth. I'm also much impressed by those little arrows. I sometimes would like to use such an arrow. Is it hard to make?

All right [off-topic e](sorry) -- can anyone tell me why, when I try the Alt + numbers sequence, they kick me off this screen to my home page? And stranger still is that not all of them do it; just most. A few of them give me the characters I want.

[this is a guess, only a guess]
there are priorities (d'oh!) for key sequences: windows/OS → browser → app/edit
that may be what's going on...

OK, whatcha gotta do is make sure you're in NUM LOCK then hold down the ALT key during the entire procedure. Enter the sequence (with the ALT key held down), e.g., 0222. Don't forget the leading zero.

YAY, it worked! Thank you thank you thank you!! [blowing kiss e]
P.S.--It took my eyes going two times around the keyboard to find the NUM LOCK button. I also saw some things I've never noticed before, such as that All, Cut, Copy, Paste, and Bold are on the fronts of my a, x, c, v, & b keys; also I have an F lock button...which might be the explanation for why my F keys don't work.
