How do i get a pound sign on a dell computer - Dell 0Y3740 Keyboard

Look for it at its bottom side. There it is.

"#" IS called the pound sign, unless you referring to the British Pound.

The easiest way is to hold down the Alt key and type "156", then release the Alt key. You will see a British pound (£) sign appear. However, sometimes "pound" means the number sign (#), but that's mostly used in voicemail prompts.
If you use the first pound symbol a lot, you can either keep it on the clipboard, or consider remapping a key you never use (like the tilde, or ~) to type that character (see http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article02-022).

Hope this helps!
