Hallo mark!

And in this case it paid off.  I wasn't aware of the 0x8d being used the way it 
apparently is being used (EOL) although I do recall from back in the so-called 
"good old days" IBM using 0x85 for a '\r\n' replacement.  I haven't actually 
run across anything that uses it but have seen more than a few references to 
0x85 and IBM.

 ml> like back in the w95 and KA9Q days ;)

It goes further back than that.  More around 89-91-ish.  If I am not mistaken 
uEmacs was a Finnish programmers idea for making DOS more Unixie and the latest 
release was sometime around 1991.  I think Nancy's version was earlier.  Anyhow 
it definetly is a keeper given how well it still works and I can understand her 
reluctance to upgrade.  Also I think hubby hacked it a bit if I recall 
correctly.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
