Here is a chart that shows which PC ascii characters correspond to which 86 ascii characters. to get the characters you want just highlight the character on the left side of the =s sign that you want to show on the 86 and press (like i needed to tell you that). Then use them in your asm programs: NOTE:for the newbies ld hl,string call _puts ;this would put 3 solid cursors at currow,colrow . . . string: .db "",0 END:newbies zebeedoot(joemama@minot.com) (space)= (space) !=!
