That's great to hear, Dave.

Regarding the CW characters, according to the KIO2 Programmers Ref, the 
following characters are mapped to CW "Prosigns":

( KN  + AR  = BT  % AS  * SK

so the server strips out ( ) + = % and * from the text, then looks for " KN 
", " AR " etc and substitutes the special characters for them. Therefore 
you can't send any of those symbols, but to send KN etc you just type it as 
a word, followed by a space. It's a good idea to get in the habit of ending 
every word with a space because the client transmits your text to the 
server on a "word at a time" basis.
