This would work as long as you leave the ucpboxdraw bit in there. I agree that the Unicode characters are much clearer, I'm not sure that it is a good idea to force the use of them though. If the user as chosen Ascii symbol boxing for their session there is probably a good reason. Why would they want Ascii symbols in their session but not in the GUI? I think you at least need to leave the option of being able to specify ASCII symbol boxing. It is often useful if you want to copy and paste to a forum email for example. The easiest way to do this is to make it dependent on the session setting and let the user choose their desired Tools|Toggle Ascii box drawing setting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
