Question: The documentation on Page 477 describes how to enter a control code in a cell. It refers to entering a “Ctrl-B” in the cell before actually entering the code. Does this mean I have to do a CONTROL-SHIFT-B, or will a CONTROL-b do the trick?

Response: The procedure depends on the Multiplan version you are using. Multiplan Version 2.01, the first version that allows control codes to be entered in cells, requires that you type CONTROL-SHIFT-B. Multiplan Versions 3.0, 3.01, and 3.02 require only CONTROL-b (lowercase character b) before you enter the control character.
