They look like little cheer leaders. They are made with keyboard symbols. This kind of thing is typical of Fidonet users.

Take them out, no, but you gave me an idea. I will work with the library that seems to love me so much about something like this. The language lab could do it but they use student helpers who change all the time so arenot concistent service-wise, but thelibrary, hmmmm. Thanks a lot Val, I will use part of my spring break to work on how to implement such an idea. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ , , o/ James Womack \o , <| Don't mince words |> __o/ / > Say what you really think! < \ __\__ |
