Fw: [GreenKeys] Plus signs

[Larry Tighe]

Thanks to all who wrote explaining the +.

Tom,

 on the 1+ I seem to remember that in a stepper office dialing the 1 put you 
on an outgoing trunk to a toll office and diverted your call from the local 
bank of selectors (beyond the first level selector that is) and connectors. 
Thence on to a "camma" office where the girl asked "what is YOUR number 
pleeeeze".  (she had no way of knowing if you gave your number or your 
neighbors :>) who got charged !!  I'm not admitting that I ever did that, 
however........

Thanks again to all.
Lar
