static text question

Hello all
My question is I would like to have an e-mail address as a static text, but it cuts off after the @

What chapter did I glaze over on this topic?
  

It's not what a man says that matters or how he says it, but what he does and how he does it.

Double the @ symbol. 

Like this: myname@@myplace.com

 
The "@" is in a label to indicate that the following character(s) is a special symbol label.  It can used to make arrow labels, or VCR control button labels, etc..

Experiment with different symbols, numbers 0-9, etc,
See some examples here:


I have this noted as an addendum in my Sesame notes for labels.  I don't think it is in the manuals.  I seem to recall that this was provided by Mark (Cow).
