| 33.1 | clarification for "sol" | STK01::GULLNAS | | Sun Jan 19 1986 10:17 | 9 |
| The name "sol" really refers to the character "�". I think that
this character is called "currency sign" in the ISO standards.
In the officially registered (with ISO) Swedish NRC character
set this symbol appears in the position where ASCII have "$".
The name "maas" for {} is new to me. The original spelling probably
is "m�s".

| 33.2 | I stand corrected | TLE::SAVAGE | | Mon Jan 20 1986 14:08 | 7 |
| Re: .1:
I now see that "m�s" is the Swedish word for gull. Sorry I didn't
catch the typo that I carried over - 'shows my lack of familiarity
with the Swedish language.

| 33.3 | More on '@'... | WHYNOT::ANKAN | Anders "ankan" �hgren | Fri Jan 24 1986 13:05 | 4 |
| Also '@' is often, at least at RIT (or KTH, Kungliga Tekniska H�gskolan),
referred to as 'krulla'... no idea why, i don't even think that this is
a word in Swedish...

| 33.4 | It's in my dictionary | TLE::SAVAGE | | Fri Jan 24 1986 14:16 | 9 |
| Re: .3:
My Swedish-English dictionary [McKay's 1959] defines "krulla" as
as a transitive verb meaning "to curl." Thus '@' tends to 'krull
ihop sig' (curl itself up - into a "kanelbulle?").
Tack s� mycket!

| 33.5 | Swedish knowlege | WHYNOT::ANKAN | Anders "ankan" �hgren | Mon Jan 27 1986 14:06 | 2 |
| Ohhh... yeah right, been out of Sweden to long to remember this... (not
really true, at the moment).

| 33.6 | Some danish char'-names | COPENG::WALIN | Klaus Walin, Copenhagen | Tue Feb 18 1986 12:08 | 22 |
|
Here are some danish equivalents:
" g�se�jne (gooze eyes)
# stakit, havel�ge (fench, "garden-door")
' fnyt (this is slang meaning little thing without importance)
@ snabel-a (elephant's-trunk a)
& Ander And (=Anders Duck the name for Donald Duck, the
sign appears as you know in Walt Disney & Co)
^ hat (hat)
{ } Tuborg [referring to the danish beer-brand whose logo
is the same shape only horisontal. Original a sort of
4-cornerd "hat" with the name Tuborg on each side, used
the old trucks bringing out the beer)
[The name in swedish for @ can be jusified with the fact that
the swedish cinnamon bun (~ snegl (=snail) in danish) because
of how this piece of danish looks]

| 33.7 | Danish LK201. | NORGE::CHAD | Ich glaube Ich t�te Ich h�tte | Thu Mar 01 1990 15:14 | 13 |
| Fine that you can call these things names and now I can easily type them!
I now have a danish lk201-ad keyboard. To try it out I customized the
session manager (DW) keyboard entry to be a danish ld tw keyboard and now
the non-us keys show up with one keystroke. However, I have a small problem,
keys that I normally use like at-symbol, square brackets, pound sign, etc
are now a third set of symbols on the keys and I can't figure out how to
get them. They aren't just shifted :-(. Any ideas? What do you folks
in DK (scan) do to get these characters?
Thanks
Chad

| 33.8 | [Compose Character] might do it.......
| NYHAVN::KOFOED | I have my future behind me... | Fri Mar 30 1990 04:25 | 9 |

Well, as far as I remeber the [ and ] are made as a <compose> + two ( or ).
As for the @ and other weird characters, I guess you will have to try your
way, or they might be listed in some manual.
Hope this helps. (Haven't been in Denmark for some years now).

Hello,
If you have a Swedish (or American even) keyboard, you "only"
have to hit <compose> <shift> and the A twice.
Good luck
