If you're trying to get DOS character set characters (Like those used in
DOS EDIT to surround the text editing area) under Windows, you'll have to
use a font like MS Linedraw or Terminal.

If you're just after special characters like those found in the character
map, you'll have to stick a '0' on the front of the Alt number

e.g. ae-dipthong = Alt+0145, not Alt+145 like in DOS.
