Its hard to be sure, but in Word (Windows?) it appears to be x'8c' > and in ebcdic is: x'5F' With my emulator ^ is x'5f'.

All this just gives more credence to the idea of using \ as your 'not' character in rexx, you never know when you might want to cut and paste a bit of rexx and send by email. This and porting issues are simplified if you do.
