That looks like a lot of trouble, when a simple copy and paste does just fine.
WHAT?
Haven't you heard? Multi-touch, now employed with some new Macs, will save you time inserting such snippets.
You just draw the symbol on the multi-touch pad track, can be up to 17" long, and then it will insert whatever passage you have got. Then there is no reason to switch to Notepad to copy and switching back to IE to paste it, even though it could be accomplished via multi-touch too. Off to MTP now.
Once again we've hijacked a thread. Sorry flame3379.
A search will reveal, that these hijackings are perfectly contributing to the level of information overflow.
Need to find the mattress now, the light just went off on the neighbour's dog house, which means the dog is finally asleep and I can get the cat out of under the mattress. And believe me, the I protect the dog with that normal and cultivated behaviour.
I miss the sheep and their hunger for dry bread, though the white terrier, descended from higher ground, can be a pain in the arse, especially when the other neighbour's female dog is having aunt Irma visiting. Visigoths for the win.
