You must be reading different books to me :).ASCII or American
Standard Code for Information Interchange covers more characters than
those displayed by the standard QWERTY keyboard.  It covers all the
codes from decimal 0 - decimal 255.  0-32 are control codes and
definately have no place in this newsgroup.  Some of the others in the
range of 33-255 do not display on all systems.  It depends on which
character sets are supported by your system.

I assume that your definition of ASCII comes from this newsgroup and
in that context is also valid. :))

cya :(
