what slanted apostrophe ? do you mean an accent ? acute ? grave ? cidilla ? tilde ? thorn ? omlaut ? (you can't make an omlaut without breaking eggs)

We used to mess up all the comuter systems at school by using Alt characters.
In the days before windows you could even use a space alt character and then hide the directory. We drove the teachers crazy :P the old alt characters eh....
Start/Programs/Acc/System tools/character map is the best way to find them now....

Alt=Characters don't work on Linux.. I'm nit sure if there is any other way to use them other than the Character Map. I may be wrong.. If so perhaps someone could tell me what key sequence replaces the Alt=xxx to get funky characters.

Modern day equivelent of annoying teachers is changing the shortcuts to popular programs.:D

Even better is if you can successfully get one of those Illegal Operation screens to come up...I don't know now a days, but the campus police was always present for those few years back at our middle school:stickout:
