RE: Built-in function %char

Jerry,
Just hold them up to the screen in SEU or CODE/400 to "debug" your layouts.
They're fixed-pitch fonts.  LOL!

Heck, Booth, I've still got the IBM Debugging Template (GX21-9129-9)  
from either my S/3 or S/34 days. 


Not actually much good for debugging any more since it's set for 10cpi 
and printers around here all do proportional.  But it does have the edit 
codes.


And I've even got printer layout charts and screen design charts.  
Apparently I never throw anything away.
