Percent symbol on keyboard

I find it almost impossible to enter the % sign with Graffiti2, and I
can't find it on the keyboard. Same for the trademark and copyright
symbols. What am I missing?

Ah . . . for those halycon dates of "Graffiti 1" (when it was just
called "Graffiti" ) and the percent symbol was a punctuation shift and
a very easy to make curly-cue, the copyright symbol was the extended
shift (one diagonal stroke) and an "C", and the trademark symbol was
the extended shift and an "M". See
http://palm.vanbrayne.com/graffiti_r.html for diagrams.

Depending on your particular Palm Pilot there's probably a way to
restore Graffiti 1 in its entireity if you search around on the
internet. You can also always buy TealScript
(http://www.tealpoint.com/softscrp.htm) to change the strokes to suit
your taste.

You also might find a program like LChars to be very useful as an
alternative way of accessing unusual characters:

A number of other such freeware programs (TSFonts, AsciiChart,
DispChars, SymbolFinder) can be found here:

Works fine for me with Mozilla Firefox with the popup blocker enabled.

Really? I wasn't even aware that they had popups. I use the old mozilla with
*everything* turned off. Works great. I only use IE for the sites I know are
safe since I've never run any virus software. Firefox should do the same though,
maybe you should tweak it a little and try again...
