Find in your printer manual/if it is DOS based printer/ or in any
worthwhile computer digest showing printer codes.

Like alt 171=� - alt 172=� - alt 155=� - alt 148=� - alt 241=�
Degree symbol alt 248=� as in 100� - also works with 
alt and F10 held down. Numbers used must be on the number pad on your
keyboard.

Other examples:

+ � � - � � � � � � � � � � � � � �

Using chart map for on the fly usage will take you forever; best to
copy to text document with key combinations and slide on your desk
somewhere for ready reference then just input wherever/whenever you
want; there are also those used for "drawing" in the same ascii list
but I have not included them; the list is long.
