Hi Daryl!

 DS> 0
 DS> "Slashed Zero" - distinguishes a ZERO from the letter "O".
 DS> Intended to resolve ambiguity in callsigns like ""W0OF". Not
 DS> needed for callsigns like "W0RK". Can be produced by pressing
 DS> Alt-216 (Ø) on your PC keyboard (Note: you must use the numeric
 DS> keypad, not the numbers across the top row of the keyboard. This
 DS> method should work in most PC-based editors such as e-mail
 DS> clients, word processors, etc.)

I'm missing something.  Well, several somethings but that's a different 
thread. <g>  ALT_216 does produce the Ø character but I don't understand
the relationship of the box-drawing symbol and the slashed zero.

Could see if did an overlay function -- O overlay / -- but AFAIK overlay
is not available in simple editors.  So teahc me, O Master of the Brass 
Key!
