I apologize for posting such a basic question on the forum, but I'm fairly new to Macintosh computers, and I don't know where to find the answer.
For Insert > Section Break > Next Page NWE uses a default keyboard shortcut that looks like Option-Command- and then a symbol that looks like a carat breaking upward through a horizontal line. In the system Character Palette under the Lucida Grande glyph catalog it is
Unicode: 2324
UTF8: E2 8C A4
GID: 949
and is named "UP ARROWHEAD BETWEEN TWO HORIZONTAL." When I look under Preferences > Menu Keys, "Option" is checked but I can't see anything in the text box.
What does this symbol represent? I'm using a PowerBook, so perhaps I don't have that key on my keyboard.
Follow-up question. This mysterious key raises the question in my mind whether it is possible to create Menu Keys that use keys that don't input characters (such as function keys, arrow keys, escape, return, delete, tab). Does anybody know?

On my PowerBook (with Swedish keyboard) this key is just to the right of the space key. I do not know if it's the same at your keyboard, but it might be worth testing.

Thank you, Peter. On my (U.S.) PowerBook keyboard, the key to the right of the spacebar is a command key, but to the right of that is a key labeled enter. That appears to be the right key.
If I wanted to use that key or another non-character key (escape, delete, F1, home, etc.) in a user-defined Menu Key, how would I do that?

I'm not sure if it works, but the manual says something about changing the menu keys on pages 157-158. I haven't tested it my self yet, thoughcchapin wrote:If I wanted to use that key or another non-character key (escape, delete, F1, home, etc.) in a user-defined Menu Key, how would I do that?

Sorry Craig, that's beyond of my knowledge.cchapin wrote:Thanks, Peter. The user guide doesn't answer that question. I kind of suspect that it isn't possible, but I'm curious.

But I can tell you that I had real good sailing tour today. The wind was somewhere near moderate or fresh gale and the waves where sometimes nearly between 3-4 meters high. That's what I call sailing!

That "^" is indeed the Enter key. I think you CAN use function, return, and other such keys for Menu keys. You definitely can when assigning shortcuts to styles in the Style Sheet view. (Click on the box labeled "Shortcut:" to assign a shortcut to the style. Unlike Menu Keys, these shortcuts get activated each time you open the document.)
