I'm a newbie 1st University student learning Java, and I've become
stuck on the next hurdle, after working out the Path command in
Windows 2000 . Which key do I press to get the straight line you
need for the OR logical operator? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Shift backslash on US keyboards.

backslash key. shift - backslash will give you |

for the OR put 2 ||

my backslash and pipe key is located above the enter key.

On my keyboard it's the one left of 1 on the top row.

Thank you for that.

Hi!

If you use Windows, go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools >
Character Map

Select, copy and paste the characters into your code.

On UK PC it's to the right of the left shift key; on UK Mac it's above
the right shift.

The real killer when I first got my Mac was finding the # (Alt-3, not
marked on the key top, shift-3 is £). Key Caps is a wonderful thing once
you find it.
