Extended ASCII Characters in Windows and Help Files

Actually, none of the extended ASCII figures appear in most Windows files
according to the standard character set. This XASCII Help file shows you
what each extended ASCII character number actually produces in a Help file
and most other Windows files.

If you have tried all these then that is it! Sorry.
145   146   160   161   162   163   164   165   166   167   168   169
170   171   172   173   174   175   176   177   178   179   180   181
182   183   184   185   186   187   188   189   190   191   192   193
194   195   196   197   198   199   200   201   202   203   204   205
206   207   208   209   210   211   212   213   214   215   216   217
218   219   220   221   222   223   224   225   226   227   228   229
230   231   232   233   234   235   236   237   238   239   240   241
242   243   244   245   246   247   248   249   250   251   252   253
254   255

ASCII characters 127-144, and 147-159 are null in Windows and Help files,
they produce a black area on the screen ().  Character 160 produces a
space which can act as a "hard space."

James Bair, P.O. Box 203, Shelton  CT  06484-0203, USA.
All work done by him and his teachers too probably. (^:=
