Hi! I'm a MapInfo/MapBasic newbie and I am not yet familiar with all the MapInfo jargon, so I will try to present this as clearly as I can:
I need to make some changes to MapBasic code...I need to include a trademark symbol (R) where I include text. (the trademark is one character with a cirle and an R in the middle) We are using HP10.20 (unix os), and MapBasic 3.0 (MapInfo corp no longer supports HP Unix) Here's the problem. When I use the command Chr$(174) sometimes the (R) symbol appears, and sometimes a U with a ^ appears. The U^ only appears in a Title. but not always: I have text in these lines of code: Message = "Blah Blah Blah" + Chr$(174) Print "Blah Blah Blah" + Chr$(174) Note "Blah Blah Blah" + Chr$(174) Title "Blah Blah Blah" + Chr$(174) For all the Messages, Prints and Notes, I get the (R) symbol For 2 out of my 4 Titles I get the (R) symbol, the other two times I get the U with the ^. Why does this happen? According to the MapBasic 3.0 Reference Manual we have: Appendix A: Character Code Table lists the Windows Latin 1 character set. It identifies the symbol I want as 174. It identifies the symbol I sometimes get instead as 219 (A capital U with a carot ^) I thought I could use the CharSet function but the reference manual specifies that it only works in input and output files or tables. not dialog boxes and maps...where I need it. Does anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it? How can I find out what Character Code we are using (Windows Latin 1, ISO8859_1) I'm pretty sure it's not Windows Latin 1, because we're on a UNIX system. Thank you very much, Monica _______________________________________________________________________ List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MapInfo-L" in the message body.
