   I never have see an underscore, but I haven't read a Ham Magazine for   
   years, maybe that is the "Modern Way"?   
   Before I learned of BOOLEAN LOGIC the Bar was over the letters,   
   I suppose now that means NOT End Of Message.  .... ..

   Yes, Me Too! but somewhere back in the cob webs of my mind I was   
   thinking the = sign meant Break as in a seperation between two sections   
   of a message or two different thoughts in a QSO .

   Sure is, I've had to use that if I had to tell the other operator I   
   needed a moment to do something before continuing the QSO .   
      
   I don't think I've lost all rememberance of the usual shortcut codes   
   us Hams use, even if I haven't sent one for many years.   
      
   It is like swimming, if I was in the water I still could swim.   
      
   ... As I said before... I never repeat myself.
