Ok, i'm no expert but it seems your keyboard is configured to the US. I used to own a Ti-994a many years ago and the @ was (shift 2) and the " was (shift '). If you are on XP, then you can check your keyboard settings by going to the control panel and clicking on the regional settings icon. Failing that, try opening notepad and see what symbol comes up when pressing shift 2. As i said, i'm no expert but i'm just trying to help. If this info is no good then forgive me (LOL)
