Rob,
Just checked, and you seems to be correct :-)
Though I would have said:
First hex: 4 to F
Second hex: 0 to E
Which actually, at least for a real terminal, is not quite correct. For
a real terminal, although that's certainly what the message *says,* what
it really *means* is that it must be a 2-digit hex number between 40 and
FE, inclusive.
I just tried an experiment with our emulator: I temporarily added a
toolbar button, that would bring up a dialog
(JOptionPane.showInputDialog()) asking for a 2-digit hex number,
checking to see if the cursor is on a field, and then plugging the
resulting value into the buffer at the specified position. It's
extremely crude, but it did allow me to stick attributes into a field
text. Whether turning that into something operational is any better than
just using a CL to do it is anybody's guess. For actual off-keyboard
characters, one can just use the desktop OS's usual dodges for entering
them, like alt-keypad and "Character Map" in WinDoze.
Probably not worth it, but the proof-of-concept was a fun exercise.
