It's usually on the right hand side above the return key. It should
show on the keyboard of any PC or Mac.

No. It's a regular character.
I can tell by your question that you are not looking at the Squeak
Etoys, which is what the Squeakland site and this mailing list is
about. If you haven't done much or any programming before, you might
find a really great start by doing the etoys stuff. Get the book
"Powerful ideas in the classroom" or look at the tutorials on the
site and try the examples.
If you have had some experience programming and want to learn the
full blown Squeak, then the site is Squeak.org, and there are many
books available about how to program both in Smalltalk in general,
and in Squeak in particular.
Cheers,
Alan
