   I know my comment about using a mouse in EDLIN was tongue in cheek,   
   but I can use the mouse in EDIT on this XP computer.   
      
   I actually haven't thought of starting EDLIN on this computer to see if   
   it would notice a mouse was connected.   
   The last time I looked at EDLIN it used the keyboard.

   I looked in the ARRL and ORR Handbooks and a article on Wikipedia about   
   Morse Code and didn't see anything about a CW equivelent for the + .   
      
   Did You ever have a message to send when You were in the Army that had   
   the Plus Sign in it?   
      
   Or were You a Commericial RadioTelegraphy Operator and used + in a   
   message.   
      
   I guess I would send the CW abbreviation for AND, es if I ever needed   
   to in a message or QSO, or just spell out the word PLUS.   
      
   Thanks for the EDucation!
