Thanks tink. So would I be right in thinking that a semi-colon and right
bracket resembles a winking smiley? Note I wrote the punctuation in
words, because I wasn't sure what you had your level set at, and to save
using your left/right arrow keys if it was set to some or none.

Cheers,

Mark

Mark,

    I tend to use them, particularly if I'm communicating with a sighted
person. This is an old habit from before I was blind and hard to break.
I have Jaws set up to recognise certain strings of punctuation as
emoticons and it works well, but I tend to avoid using them as much when
communicating on the VI centric lists and use full words instead.
*Smile.

HTH,
Tink.
