There is a way to "over line" characters, but I have lost the method, 
aging, but at the least, it is easy to underline
them. An example would be like typing *_BT _*rather than *BT*. Another 
example, _*AA*_ instead of *AA.* I laugh when
someone says it should be _*SK*_ vs. *_VA_*, because both are the same 
when sent together, *(..._._) *The letters really
mean not a damn thing, folks.
