Thanks.  I'm beginning to understand why theology was so popular in 
the Middle Ages.  You know -- when they worried about how many angels 
could dance on the head of a pin.

Don says 48.

I said 52.

You say 50.

Answers.com says "up to" 49.

I bet Google can find me a statement that it's "at least" 49.  :-)

No wonder the World Radiocommunication Conference of 2003 decided to 
throw the whole thing out.

BTW, a nice history of Morse code appears at 
<http://www.answers.com/topic/morse-code>.  (Scroll way down to get 
to it.)
