Hi Brent,
I seem to remember something about putting a 0 (zero) in front of the 255. I
tested [Alt]0255 on WIN 98SE in Notepad and got the "Y" with the 2 dots
above it (umlate???) which is closer to the hard space. I think at that point it
has to do with the characterset the operating system is using. I am a little out
of my league here but maybe the 0 will work for you.
Best regards,
Mike Young
