Folks - wishing all a Good New Year Ben The first ingredient must be a printer with a a suitable font table, in these times of soft fonts that should be a given or tractable. The second element is to convert to and use an MCS / multibyte character representation - which can differentiate _ ^ and the desired arrow marks. To do this you could: - load the file into an editor, save it in MCS format, perform the necessary substitutions (two global replaces) - write a program / script to achieve the same effect, read char and convert/translate to MCS octets. Note. It is just possible you will find a font with the arrows in the upper 128 glyphs of 8 bit "ascii", in which case you can skip the MCS conversion. HtH

I'm scratching my head... you want to keep the question marks? But I guess you mean the back arrow and the up arrow. Christian
