Thanks Wez I can handle the explanation as I am well into ascii character code being a QBASIC programmer. Your probably correct in saying some applications may reduce 8big to 7big notation and thus lose the significance of the character code.

(U pdate) John, No, the keys do give different character codes, otherwise the characters produced wouldn't match the symbols, since UK keyboards have both hash and pound symbols on them. What you saw in my mail is basically, a 7-bit ASCII vs 8-bit ISO-8859-1 thing, I think. The pound sign is character 163 in ISO-8859-1 while the hash is ASCII code 35 - ASCII mailers will probably fudge one into the other to allow it to be displayed.
