...one more try..

For some reason ASCII #205 and other 2-key combination characters are

unavailable with System 4.1 (and Finder 5.5). While "O overstrike ~" may

not be important in normal english writing, the set-inclusion symbol

in Symbol Font is extremely useful in mathematical manuscripts.



It is bad enough that Aldus(?) provided 2!!! ways to get reverse-set-inclusion:

OPTION-spacebar, and OPTION-SHIFT-spacebar, while relegating the more often

used set inclusion to OPTION-n SHIFT-o. Now we don't have it at all!



Are you there, Apple and/or Aldus?
