If you stick to the range ' ' (space = 32) to '~' (tilde = 126) then you should be OK. And you will of course need some sort of line feed, but those are different on PC's, Mac or UNIX, so just use what your editor gives you when you hit <return>. Tabs will be transmitted OK, but will probably be interpreted differently by other terminals, so your lovely artwork will get messed. If you have non-ASCII funnies on your keyboard like Pound signs (a big hello to Mac users everywhere!), then check the byte value. >| Free Nomadic People. | Great - I'll take a dozen! adBBba. Ba.
