Or alternatively you could use the \033 or \x1B escape sequences in the string which would be easier on your editor. There's also the \e escape sequence if you are using a more modern compiler. All of these sequences will evaluate by the compiler into the ESC character. ~Kender ===== -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version 3.1 GCS/L/C/O d-(+) s++:+ a-- C+++$>++++ UBLS++++$ P+++(--)$ L++>+++ E--- W+>++$ N !o K? w(--) !O M- !V PS+ PE(++) Y+ PGP->+ t- 5 X+() R(+) tv+@ b++(+++) !DI+++ D G(-) e>+++$ h---() r+++ y+++ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
