Thanks for the info from “The OldSchool PC Font Resource” site. You may 
possibly be on to something. Who knows. But, whatever the  case may be, and 
regardless of why Hermes rejects the ANSI codes I try to paste into my screens, 
as I said previously, it just forces me to make my screens the way I have 
always made them since decades ago — by pasting in one character at a time. It 
is sad though that animated ANSI no longer works on modern computers, because 
they run too fast, and the animation just zips by. And with that, I will bring 
this conversation to a close before we test Rich’s patience too much! 😀🤣😇😆

Kind regards,
