I suppose you could use the old text methods: _wow_, *hurray*. Or, maybe italics. You don't see a lot of bold in the text in books, do you?(And, please forgive me, but I find avoiding the use of "bold text" to be extremely difficult, as in even this very sentence!!!)

The forum seems to do that on its own. I just pasted the URL into the edit box on the page.but on the actual page itself (as you can see directly above) it is presented as "http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/.../16/90448.aspx"
It seems that someone else must disagree with that:It's 30-year-old MS-DOS syntax. Microsoft eliminated ^Z as EOF when they released Windows 95
