RE: CPYTOSTMF character translation

What does it get translated to?  A pound (currency, that is) sign?  The
funky little L-looking thing?

The dollar sign (along with the pound sign (crosshatch) and at-sign) are not
internationally supported characters in base ASCII.  I remember at SSA we
had to have an entire team working no a project to remove those characters
from th AS/SET repository because they didn't translate internationally.
