Sometimes when I try to enter a # or ", I get a £ and @, respectively, instead. Saving and quitting Squeak then starting solves that. Does anyone know why?
Which operating system are you using? It might simply be your OS changing into a different (judging from the £ completely british) locale.

Windows XP Pro. No, during those occassions I tried entering characters in notepad and it was OK. I even tried an external keyboard (I'm using a laptop).
On my machine (Win 2000), I can toggle between US and UK keyboard layouts by pressing Alt-Shift This affects only the active application. Have a look at the keyboard settings in Control Panel, I believe that you can turn this behaviour off. Cheers, Andy

Ahh.. I thought I have turned it off and forgotten about it. Thanks!

Windows XP remembers the keyboard layout for every window. If you start a new program (e.g. Notepad), it will use your default layout.
