Rick: My P.S. may have misled you. The WPS-PLUS manual, appendix A, is just another source for the "Multinational Characters" (things like "cent sign," "yen sign," "capital A with grave accent," etc.). There are no "Line Drawing Characters." Similarly, the "Technical Character Set" that neither of us has does not include "Line Drawing Characters." It is oriented to mathematical expressions, and includes the Greek alphabet, mathematical symbols, and some characters for drawing oversized parentheses, integral signs, radical signs, etc. I did find a list of the "Special and Line Drawing Characters" in the WPS-PLUS manual (chapter 16, "Drawing Diagrams"), but it only tells what _keys_ WPS assigns them to, not what ASCII codes they correspond to! So I just figured it out for myself by making a file of all the ASCII characters in order and putting the ESC ( 0 and ESC ) 0 sequences at the beginning and the ESC ( B and ESC ) B sequences at the end. TYPE-ing this file showed all of the Special Characters in order. I don't think I can fit a list in this message, so I'll send it in a second one.
