I was reading XP's Help and Support pages to see how to make the Band-Aid graphic in Notepad and read something about the Character Map. I looked in Character Map for the Characters I could use to make an image of a Band-Aid in Notepad and found two of them I could use. In the Grid, I found the Full Block character is U + 2588 and the Light Shade Character is U + 2591 Using Notepad I held the Alt Key and entered 2588 on the Keypad a total of 5 times. (I only entered the digits, I didn't type the letter U first). Next I held the Alt Key and entered 2591 a total of 5 times. Again I keyed in the Code Alt 2588 5 times. What I saw on the screen looked like the image that was in the Johnson and Johnson Tagline I used in a message some time ago. The word Band-Aid is a brand name for a Adhesive Bandage the Johnson & Johnson Company sells in the U.S.A. Sorry for the confusion, Holger, I thought the word Band-Aid was a common word that everyone knew. The editor that MultiMail DOS uses is called MS-DOS Editor, Version 2.0.026, Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp 1995. It doesn't show the same character(s). It shows ............... On my screen the character Alt 2588 looks like a small capital L letter, and the character Alt 2591 looks like it is Heart shaped but the top is flat, it looks more like a Triangle with the pointed end at the bottom. I'm wondering if everyone sees the same thing that I see on my screen. Let Me know. Thanks. 73 de Ed W9ODR . . ....
