RE: EDI element separator character

In the Premenos/Harbinger/Invois package, the translator does not care what
the inbound element separator is.  It determines it based on the ISA header,
and then applies it to the entire message.  A partner can use a * in one
message, or a | in the next.  No problem at all.  You define what your
outbound separator is in the outbound trading partner relationship.

Anybody know what is involved with changing the EDI "element separator"
character ?
I was hoping to change the * to something like ^

I'm working with an older translator package (Premenos/Harbinger/Inovis
Trustedlink), and can see the specification of the control characters on the
outgoing (send) Trading Partner Relationship setup.  However the inbound
(receiving) setup screen does not show these control characters.  Is this
because the actual control characters used in formatting the data are
defined in the envelope ?
