Hi Kat: With the DBT software, symbols like "at" "right-brace" "greater-than" etc are spelled out. In the case of the at, the word is also displayed along with the symbol.
It takes some getting used to, but trust me, you shouldn't notice it after awhile. Laura >------ original message ------ >from: "Kathleen A.
