<< The hard space, char(255), was called that back in the DOS days when it looked like a space. In Windows, the same character is visible is often displayed, depending on the font you use. >>
I have found CHAR(160) to work fairly reliably in Windows, at least on systems using US English. My main use for it in R:Base for Windows was to get columns in a Variable Lookup Listbox to line up more or less correctly. With the Lookup Listview control, it's completely unecessary (that control gives you complete control over column formatting). --- Larry
