Make sure you hit them at the same time. You can keep going too, to see what else comes up by hitting alt and then the next numbers."

Uh-oh, when you get to '7', DG goes away and your homepage comes up! So the figures above are 1-9, skipping 7. The zero does nothing--LOL

However Alt 9 sends me to image box below
Alt 8 goes one line up
Alt 0-7 stays right here as do all the symbol keys...

youre holding down the alt key while hitting the number pad key at the same time?

when I do the music notes, I hold down the alt key type 13 on the number pad and then after I lift off the alt key the symbol shows up...

Num Lock on. Alt key down while typing any number...still nothing. Gotta be this OLD windows 98 thing!

alt 13 just gives me next line down.
even with num lock off. course, if I don't hold alt down, get actual number...13

This is Dave's special smiley that he revealed to everyone in the Daves Garden Forum a while back. Somewhere in the DG FAQ there is basic info on how to do things like bold and italics and such. Other than that I'm not aware of any others. There are web sites where you can download all kinds of emoticons, but I don't think they work here at DG.
