Often in my programs I have to list out instructions for the 
operator, like <arrow> up/down/left/right, page up/down, etc. 
That uses up valuable space. 

What about actual pictures? Thereby using only 4 spaces, instead 
of . . . what is it,  27 spaces. My wordprocessor, Scripsit pro, 
uses pictures of arrows for their instructions. 
I’ve searched all the ASCII codes from 0-1000, but can’t find 
one presentable arrow - the entire Greek alphabet, (would anyone 
ever use these?) but not ONE presentable arrow. Do you know 
something about this? What about writing them myself? I know you 
can do some pretty amazing things with Borland C++.
