Closing thought:

After a loooong series of posts on the Internet asking questions like "What is 
the "@" key (or "*" or "~" etc.) called?", Dark Scavenge of Sunlight.com 
asked:  "So what's a   called?"  Kelley Rogers, posting from the Eugene Free 
Community Network in Oregon, was ready with the answer:

     "The ' ' is called the 'any key' as in 'press any key to continue.'"
