Thanks for this. It makes perfect sense. In fact I went to the cupboard and shook out a whole pan of ash from my sackcloth. However, I won't be wearing it just yet!

It appears that the English UK keyboard (but not the USA one!) is an optional extra and not part of the basic XP Polish edition installation. So the pound sign remains as elusive as ever.

Now I have never used a Polish edition of Mac OSX (My UK edition of OSX copes well enough with all the Polish text I ever need to write) so I can't honestly that a Polish Mac would happily generate pound signs at a touch of a button... .

I'm off for a couple of pints (strong stuff this Polish beer) and another plate of pigs trotters. The local Tesco does not sell pork pies or English beer. Shame on them.
