         Thanks!   The chart you the link you provided shows that the symbol means the escape key.

>>When you (the general "you", not necessarily Robert) say "Keyboard Viewer", are you refering to /System/Library/Input Methods/KeyboardViewer.app ? For some reason that doesn't seem to do anything for me.

       On my MacBook Pro (less than a month old) I do: 
1) System Preferences
2) Keyboard...."Show Keyboard & Character Viewer in menu bar"
3) In menu bar (just to the right of the volume control on my MacBook Pro), mouse over the picture of a keyboard.
4) Click on "Show Keyboard viewer"
5)  A picture of a keyboard appears.
6) any key that you type into any application, causes that key on the picture of the keyboard to briefly flash gray.
