[CW] List of prosigns

[Richard Knoppow]

    I am not sure how to write a line above letters on a computer 
although it can be done. It's a PITA on a typewriter. However, 
the book I referred to uses brackets, as in [BT] to indicate the 
characters are to be sent as a single signal. That's easy to do 
and I think makes sense.
    BTW, I looked over the abreviations in the late ITU document 
someone linked, none of the urgent signals, XXX, TTT or even SOS 
are there.
    I think most of the combinations were meant to be easily 
distinguished rather than to stand for anything.
