Shift-3, pounds (British) and pounds (octothorpes)



Hi all,

Played again with my Apple //e this afternoon - a lot of fun as always, 
and wish I could find the time more often. I even got MacADT to run in 
Classic on OS X with a Mini-iDock USB to serial converter on my 17" G4 
PowerBook.

One question, though - the 3 key has both the # and British pound signs 
on them, and when Shift-3 is pressed, it's the British pound sign which 
is shown. Is there any way to get the # to display? The Apple //e model 
# is A2S2064.

Thanks

Sean

PS Never knew the hash symbol was also known as an octothorpe - found
