Google "acsii codes", "ebcdic codes" and "unicode codes" for some values to start you off.

Don't forget that you can also use the BYTVAL function for the reverse.

Tony,
I've tried that in the past and found a great chart, but don't recall its location. Silly me.
I'm using HEXBYT(127, 'A7') to add a floating period for a bullet. But I don't recall where I got that value from. Oh well, I'll keep googling, when i get the time.

Thanks anyway,
George

George,

This is one I normally hit when I need a code that I can't get using BYTVAL - Ascii codes

Don't forget the old coders method -

-REPEAT :Loop FOR &Count FROM 33 TO 255;
-SET &Char = HEXBYT(&Count, 'A1');
-TYPE &Count &Char
-:Loop

That should give you a few to play with for now Smiler

No, it just means that the character is not able to be displayed using the character set being used.
