why "echo"? I was running xterm, not gedit. Not important. > seems like you are simulating the AltGr modifier No. On the Czech keyboard, pressing 2 produces ě, to actually get 2, you need to press Shift+2. Yes, that's how people type here, crazy, right? `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l]

Weird. And from google images, it looks like '@' is on 'V'? So then is shift-V '@' or uppercase 'V' and how do you get the other one?	[reply]

> crazy, right? Well, not surprising, my dad had a typewriter° without "1". You had to type "l0" for "10". Of course was the font chosen to be closer. We still have this kind of ambiguities on our keyboards, like using a single quote for apostrophe (or vice versa) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) see Wikisyntax for the Monastery} °) after some searching, it must have been the iconic Olivetti Lettera 22 or one of the successors like Olivetti Lettera 32. I still remember the turquoise case with the black stripe in the middle.	[reply]
