Possible to use "&" character in IM text obj?

I know the "&" char is significant to Infomaker, but would like to use it in a text object. I've looked in the docs, but don't see a way to quote, wrap, or otherwise escape this character. Does anyone else know of a way to do this?

Thanks.

    I believe you need to enter it twice (although in my tests, only the second instance of the ampersand actually appears in the control).

  • Why didn’t I think of that! ;-)

     

    Works perfectly. Thanks!
