I never used this version, but all the PC have this particularity :
lock your numeric keypad to num ('NumLock' on ENglish keyboard)
press down the 'ALT' key and without releasing it, type a 3 digit number (say
/1/3/3/ on the numeric keypad
When you release the 'ALT' key, a stange character apprears ('`' in this case).
Play with it, you should find what you need
This should work with any SW which manages properly the keyboard.
