[net.micro.pc] Guess what the ALT key can do

For IBM PC users:

	Want to see any of the 255 extended ASCII characters displayed
	on your monitor? Hold down the ALT key. While it is depressed
	punch out a number from 0 to 255 (numbers greater than this will
	be wrapped around) and then release the ALT key. Neat, eh?

using the alt key to produce character >128 may be NEAT, but lo and behold
it is also DOCUMENTED!!
