Does any one here know how to get ASCII codes to appear in the text
mode of Wordperfect 8 ? In the '286 days I did it in WP5.1 but that is
too long ago for me to recall. I used the numeric keyboard and entered
the decimal equivalent of the desired character, then upon returning to
text mode the umlaut would magically appear. ....WF

What I have done in the past is to hold the ALT key down and enter the
decimal value on the numeric keypad (with the num-lock key off). I just
double-checked this, and it works under OS/2 and Windows (in simple text
editing programs), but not under Linux. At least, it didn't work here
under Thunderbird, under Kate (an editor), or in a text-mode editor
(joe). A pity, that was a handy way of getting characters from the
line-drawing set into a text file.
