Yes, those are the two. Actually the long-dash zero is the only one I use on
the Ham bands. Sounds like that's the case for you too, Hi! 

Many Hams have given up and instead use a single dash "T" for a zero on
their keyers, which works OK when heard in context.

My problem is that I can't easily switch between a bug and a keyer. When I
get on a keyer I'll instinctively start leading it so the logic can do all
the timing for me. I'm just telling it what to do; the logic takes care of
doing it right. And it easy to drop back into Iambic keying, which is
wonderfully easy and smooth. 

Unfortunately, a Bug can handle neither and make intelligible code <G>.

Ooops, there are two cases, I forgot about "L".  I can't send that with 
a keyer either.

Fessing up to that error, I remain,
