Hi, Mickey.  I knew what the equals sign was and have been editing each one in 
the book by hand this afternoon.  I may call the manufacturers of Duxbury 
tomorrow and find out whether this program will do straight translation of math 
signs or whether an embosser is required with Duxbury.  If that doesn't work, 
I'm going to refuse to do any more of this math book because I don't like to do 
inadequate work.

  Linda, in addition, the Nemeth equals sign is dots 46, 13.

  I'm a proofreader, and learned a lot of this the hard way.

    Hi, Linda. The ASCII code would be the colon for the wh sign, and a 3 for 
the colon. In a math problem, the colon would be shown by using dots 456, 3.

      Hi, everyone.  I am in the middle of a job translating a college math 
book into braille, and the colons are coming up looking like braille WH-signs.  
Does anyone know the ASCII value for the braille WH-sign so that I can 
differentiate between the weird colon sign (ASCII value number 58) and the true 
braille WH-sign?  Any advice would be very much appreciated as I could not find 
the WH-sign's value in the Braille Lite manual.  Thank you.
