Thanks for the tip Marty. I won't be back at the Shed till Thursday to check it out.

Well, I'm at the Shed. Tried Ctrl, Alt, Del. It said "No Apps Running". All I had was a red rectangle in the middle of the screen, taking up about 3/4 of it, warning about emerging threats that will pinch your passwords etc. Anything I tried to open was behind the red rectangle with a white border about 3mm thick around the edge. By dragging the corner of the white border, I was able to enlarge it sufficiently to access some info, identify it was something from the PC App Store flogging the McAfee antivirus.

 

By going through File Manager I located it in the Programs folder with an Uninstall program which I ran, then deleted it all together. Back running as normal.

Had a good laugh at this. Could be apocryphal but funny anyway.

A couple of codes I find helpful.

 

If you want to type degrees, as in 0°C, type the 0, hold down the Alt key, and type 0176 . then the C.

 

To type the degree symbol on a Mac, press Option + Shift + 8

 

When typing an area, as in 25sq m., type the number and the scale (m, ft, km, etc) then hold down the Alt key and type 0178. The result is 25m². (If you copy a text with the superscript 2 in it and paste to these forums, you will get number, m2. I encounter that when creating aircraft profiles.)  

 

To type the squared symbol (²) on a Mac, you can open the Character Viewer by pressing Control + Command + Space, then search for "superscript" and double-click on the number 2. Alternatively, you can go to the Edit menu, select "Emoji & Symbols," and find the superscript 2 there.
 

For a cubed number, use Alt and 0179.  3 m³.

 

To type the cubed symbol (³) on a Mac, use the keyboard shortcut "Option + Shift + 3." This will directly insert the cubed exponent into your text.
