You need to know what codepage your display is and what codepage is being used. XEDIT's interpretation of the data depends on SET APL and SET TEXT. It inherits those settings from CMS SET APL and SET TEXT. With SET APL OFF and SET TEXT OFF, XEDIT will send the data as-is. If the code point is 0xB3 and you are seeing a bullet, then no translations are being performed if I assume you are using a typical host code page (e.g. 37) If BROWSE shows superscript 3, then it appears to be interpreting the the data as codepage XXX, where XXX is a number lost to history, but that is used by Document Composition Facility (DCF) and the IBM 3800 Model 1 printer. (You will see it in XEDIT if you SET TEXT ON.)
