Re brackets

Yes, sure, I even had my wife give it a proof read first.

It comes up with the # symbol first and then, without the $ sign I typed what was there and spaces included... mystery?

Rw CD

It wouldn't load, gave a blank black screen after going through set up, no sign of x, or cursor, if I remember correctly.
