@ - THE answer!!!

[Nina Walsh <WalshFamily@COMPUSERVE.COM>]

I finally took the time today to look up @.  Of course, it is not in any
sign or symbol book.  But it is in *the dictionary*!!!!  Webster's New
Third International to be exact!  It is the ninth listing for "a" and
second definition:  [symbol] 1. cap - argon.  2. [from L ad] at, to - oft=
en
enclosed in an encircling loop.  3. cap - mass number.

Do I get a star???  :-)
