Anyway, most printer manuals will have a list of all the ASCII codes and what they do, so take a look. Here's some that I remember off the top of my head... Ctrl-? Backspace on some System V UNIX boxes. Ctrl-M Carriage return. Ctrl-C Break. Ctrl-G Bell. Ctrl-B Cursor left. Ctrl-A Cursor right. Ctrl-C Cursor up. } These two could be the other way round... Ctrl-D Cursor down. } EOF >-Carl > E-Mail: carld@acsu.buffalo.edu -- __ /\ \ "There is the theory of the Moebius - a twist / \ \ in the fabric of space where time becomes a / /\ \ \ loop, from which there is no escape. / / /\ \ \ Once we reach that point, whatever happens will / / /~~~~ \ happen again... where time becomes a loop, from \/ ~~~~~~~/ which there is no escape." ~~~~~~~~~~ :: mentat@sefl.satelnet.org :: syndicate@gcomm.com :: pntyraid@gcomm.com ::
