Press the Blue-Arrow key and then the 'Sym' key to bring up the Symbol window. Select '>'.

for the symbols in the third row such as '^', highlight the symbol and press the 'SPACE' key.

removed.....

copy to terminal this 2 lines:
~ $ gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/xterm/keys -t list --list-type=string "[Tab,Escape,bar,greater,asciitilde,grave,asciicircu m]"
~ $ gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/xterm/key_labels -t list --list-type=string "[Tab,Esc,|,>,~,\`,^]"

After this you will have > in low line on screen

Actually, "carrot" is a pretty amusing misrendering of caret, if that's what you meant. Seizure seems excusable in the circumstances.

Just cut and paste you Wascally Wabbit!!

The guy having the seizure is because you don't know how to spell Caret

Who's the one asking the question incorrectly? Pot... kettle... 'nuff said.

At least someone has more than 5 brain cells and understood the reason for my "seizure". Props.

There must be a language barriar here, I meant Cut/Paste a PIC of a CARROT, HA HA HA!!!

I added emphasis, since subtlety seems lost on you!
