[GreenKeys] New Morse Symbol

[Bob Camp]

Hi,

If we are going to use something how about a code that prints out on a 
mechanical machine? (like # = @ say)

If we are going to do a "computer only" type thing there are a *lot* of 
extend five level code ideas out there. If you use combinations of 
figures, letters and the 0000 character you can come up with all kinds 
of extra shifts. Once you do that you can send the whole ascii + 
graphics alphabet if you want to get complicated enough.

	Take Care
