Hey, this is a great instructable and is very informative. Just one thing is missing... pictures! It really helps a lot when trying to follow directions so you should consider taking some photographs. Once you do that and leave me a message when you have so that we can publish your work. Thanks! Thanks for the cool instructable and we hope to publish this soon!

This is good but why change * with (8) and (2) for @ The command can easily handle echo-ing these digits without a change

eg: msg * to type a message simply type msg *
and to echo @ we just echo @
no need for the changes but otherwise cool
happy coding
