Hi Steve

Interesting.  I've just tried it as I was beginning to think I was going
bonkers, and you just hold the shift down on the NC10 over the
semi-colon to get a colon.  How odd that it isn't happening for you.

Hi,

Yes, on the Samsung NC10 I have here, you have to press the function key
to get colon.  The keyboard is UK English, so I don't quite know what is
going on here.

All the best

Steve

Steve, your talking rubbish.  The keyboard is a little different yes,
but no

way is the colon fn plus right shift.  Are you sure you have the
keyboard layout set correctly? colon is semicolon shifted if I'm not
mistaken *smile*.
