[Herefordshire] Buried Treasure!

[Roger Irwin]

Hi all.
Sorry not to have attended the last meeting, but my wife & I had a prior
dinner date.
Suggestion:
Is it possible to confirm the meeting dates somewhat earlier, so that it
can be inserted into the diary, then the other half can't argue.?

WANTED:
I am looking for someone who can tell / show me how to obtain the
BACKSLASH on an IBM 560x Thinkpad laptop. I bought an old banger and now
cannot program the thing !!!
note. I believe the keyboard is an American one?  I have written to IBM
but not had a reply.

Roger
