On my UK keyboard, AltGr-Q gives me @ and AltGr-Shift-Q (in that order) gives me ?. If I press Shift-AltGr-Q it gives me that irritating little sound that says I did something wrong.

On a mac you'd probably want to push the "COMMAND"-Q combination for the most frequently used cases in which alt-F4 doesn't work. If none of the above works try power cycling for four times (with a minimum power off for 45 seconds per iteration), and then push CNTRL-ALT F-G-H and the "plus" button. You will need to power cycle every time that you need to type the "@" button. Let me know how it goes! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
