Hi! I ran into an embarrassingly simple problem, hope you guys can help me out. In os 9 etc I get the at-sign with option and L keys, but can't find the right combination in 7. I checked my mac books and googled alittle to no avail. My keyboards are german (qwertz) ones. Thanks in advance.

I think there is a Key Caps desk accessory item included with System 7.6 at least there is one in the North American English. Pehaps you could try out the key combos in that to locate the "@" that you are looking for.

Thanks for the quick reply, but I've tried that allready. I got myself yesterday a long waited german keyboard for a pb 1400. (We have some same odd letters  like ä and ö, so it's handy). But oh, the horror! No at-sign  over number 2!

This at Wikipedia seems to suggest that perhaps  right Option Q would be the "@" key.

I finally found this little app that came with norton utilities 2 called key finder .   I know that I had  this program.  It diplays all the characters for a particular font and gives the key strokes to get them.  This works well with the symbels.  This is how I found  all the special greek, german, spanish characters.  sorry for the late help.

At the risk of stating the obvious, couldn't you open the Key Caps disk accessory in the Apple Menu, hold down the shift and/or option keys, and read off what each keypress does from the on-screen picture of a keyboard?

This is gigametres ahead of the method with MS-DOS, where you had to hold down the right Alt key, and type (i.e. guess) the decimal number corresponding to the ASCII code you wanted.
