Re: "treated as strings" (was Modern Universe - was: The lists are closing)
Don't you think the UV people meant that everything in UV is "stored in the
file" ("treated") as strings (characters)? Maybe that confused Joe, not
coming from a pick environment.

Joe this is not true
Did it ever occur to you that maybe you are misinterpreting what they are
saying or perhaps they are not saying it right or perhaps don't know any better?
Everything in UV is NOT treated as a string. UV has several datum types,
you just don't see them on the surface, they are handled underneath. I can
assure you that math functions (provided you don't specifically request
stringmath) are treated as numbers, numeric types, etc. They are absolutely not
treated as strings, except where the programmer makes specific string function
calls using those variables.

Re: InValid Characters

How can I clear them ? The two characters show up a single "box" below. Thus far, I have had no luck using EditPlus, HP-Unix vi, UniVerse Edit Up-Arrow mode, or UV.VI. I tried the ascii equivalents of the box characters per... I've had some success by selecting the part of the key you can identify and then deleting the items selected. You might have to work around the good keys and bad keys getting selected (see if you can save the list, edit the good ones out, and get the list; otherwise, copy them to some other place.) If that doesn't work, oftening copying all the items in the file to another file will not copy the bad ones; then just do a clearfile and copy what's left back again. Good luck.
