Regards Bruce Hewson --- Bruce, You should not be too hard on the authors of the JES2 manual. I am not a code page specialist but, over the years, I have noted that often the "cap" and "not sign" get muddled up and one learns to compensate. This is just one of those infelicities to which one resigns oneself.
