And Benoit or any other old-timer :-) -- what is the history of this symbol?<br>
I assume it had a meaning in BASIC similar to "$", but in this case I could<br>
only find exactly one comment in a translation/etymology forum for "octothorpe"<br>
which references that "some BASIC dialects" used it, but I couldn't find<br>
any concrete dialect or what the symbol was used for.<br>
<br>
