FYI, Morse Academy v5.2r (the best Morse teaching programme, in my opinion, and
for DOS!) maps .-... prosign AS to the @ sign.  I don't know if it is just this
programme or not.  I suggest emailing the author to see if he got the idea from
somewhere else, or just picked a random key ([email protected]).  Unfortunately
.-... is already widely used.

I agree.  It would be nice to see an ASCII type standard encompassing a LOT of
currently missing symbols that could be internationally recognized, beyond
local use.  But who decides?  I would say that if the ARRL published it in QST,
it would be widely accepted.
