Problem: How to use Alt xxx key combinations

Summary:
From: Michael Geary [mailto:Mike_at_Geary.com]

I'll bet you are trying to use the number keys in the top row. The
Alt+digits codes work only with the numeric keypad, not with the number
Alt+row.

Turn on Num Lock (use Shift+ScrLk), and then try your Alt+digits using
the embedded numeric pad. For example, Alt+0169 uses the same keys as if
you were typing Alt+MJO9.
