how does one enter a dollar symbol in discussions?
I sometimes get the dollar, but more often than not
it seems to think I'm entering math-mode in LaTeX.
Same for the students.  I tried $$, \$, and a bunch of
other combinations.
The tables of symbols (greek symbols and other symbols)
are extensive but seeing as they all use the $ as a
meta-char, nowhere is listed the $ symbol itself.

thanks...
