Greg, The same way someone recognizes that an upside down 'L' with the arrow facing left and enclosed in a red circle with a red diagonal slash means 'No Left Turn'. Or that a Hexagonal Red sign on the corner of an intersection with some letters in it in white means 'Stop'. The use of 'universal' symbols transcends written words. I can't draw what I want very well with the symbols available here on CIS, but let me try one and see if you can figure out what it means: +——+ +——|\ | | | | | |—-> | | | | | | +——+ +——–+ (The symbol on the left has 4 rounded corners, the symbol on the right has 3 square corners and one 'folded' corner) This symbol is on a keycap on a terminal. Whatcha think it means? Don
