sentences as items

[Toma Tasovac]

Chris, let me abuse your kindness one last time.  Your solution is 
exactly what I need, but what's still not clear to me is the very first 
step.  Once I know how to insert the special character, it will be 
pretty trivial to to a search and replace in BBEdit and make sure that 
all sentences end with a punctuation sign + special character.  But how 
do I insert that special character in a text editor in the first place? 
  I know that this is something terribly obvious and banal, but please 
indulge my ignorance!

Many thanks for your help.

Toma
