(and how do you get that little 'degree' sign in your text?)

Cut and paste from Word.

Alt+0176 will do it too, in a Windows based system. There is a program
called "character map" you can access by the
route--Start-programs-accessories-system tools. A small popup screen will
appear. You can select whichever font you like. Clicking on a symbol on
that screen causes a legend like that above to appear in the lower right
hand corner. Going back to your document, place the cursor where you want
the symbol to appear and type the numerical string while holding the "Alt"
key.



Ahh, so thats how you put the accent in mol--uh, nevermind. g

I found the character map, but what does it means to 'type the numeric
string'? I figured out that holding alt, then typing "0176" in order, or
hitting them at once, doesn't do it. I'm on a laptop, so there is no numlock
for the numbers. Maybe that's the problem..
