You're right. I was overstating to call the little one line descriptions "explanation". And this stuff is old. I remember once having written myself a little edit macro for comments that would create a nice solid line box around comment text, but it looked like garbage unless you were using 3278T to view it. This was back when my terminal actually WAS a real 3278 with TEXT keyboard. I wonder how well this one would match up with code page 1047: 28. 3278L1 (3276, 3278, or 3279 terminal with Latin-1 character set) See this for a table showing how 3278A and 3278T map codepoints. http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/ispzug61/D.0?FS=TRUE&TB=SCRIPT&ACTION=MATCHES&REQUEST=3278+text+keyboard&TYPE=FUZZY&SHELF=EZ2ZO10K.bks&DT=20071211174724&CASE=zosv1r90.bkc&PATH=/bookmgr_OS390/libraryserver/zosv1r9/&searchTopic=TOPIC&searchText=TEXT&searchIndex=INDEX&rank=RANK&ScrollTOP=FIRSTHIT#FIRSTHIT Roger Bolan infoprint.com Boulder, Colorado, USA P Think before you print ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
