[GreenKeys] New Morse Symbol

[Bob Camp]

Hi,

Well I got that one wrong. Gotta stop trying to do this from memory.

There are a couple of characters that are assigned differently in the 
various versions of type boxes you see out there. The @ sometimes shows 
up instead of the & (supposed to be a British type box if it does 
....).
