I don't really know, but I had always assumed that the Pound Sign (#) would be converted to the Pound Sign (£). I'm pretty sure I've seen keyboard layouts that had the Pound Sterling symbol as Shift-3. Actually, my guess is that they would (assuming the use of Win95) be using the appropriate keyboard layout, as defined in the Language setting of the Keyboard properties in the Control Panel. He would pretty much ignore the legend actually screened onto the physical keys. (I'd suggest a few removable labels, with the "true" meanings, until he gets used to them.) -- Ron.
