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

| 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. |
