Hi All,

I just discovered the discontinued "thorn" letter.  The sound is
of a "th", like "thorn".  The letter looked to much like a "y"
so they replaced it with "th".  (Wish they had not.)

So, "Ye Old" is actually pronounced "the old".  Kind of removed
the fun.

Anyway, there is an excellent article on over at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_%28letter%29

Part way down the page, it gives directions on how to
get it from, your keyboard.

    GNU Screen 	Ctrl+A Ctrl+V T H 	Ctrl+A Ctrl+V t h
    This assumes that your screen configuration uses the default
    Ctrl+A as its command key.

Which does not work.  The Windows method doesn't work either.

What am I doing wrong.

Many thanks,
-T
