Iirr, M$W uses directional squotes/dquotes, so you're not in fact getting plain ol' char 27H, but something >80H. Iirr, it folds down to ^R when 7-bitted (see that a lot in viing saved emails that people send with those weirdo characters), so that's 80H + 12H == 92H, no? Might be an option on M$W to save-as-DOS-text or something, or turn *off* "smart-quotes", or something along those lines. I try to not use M$W except at gunpoint, so can't really tell you more than that as far as M$W options, etc., but that's what I strongly suspect is happening. Helps any?
