Oh, and ^N will put your back into funky character mode. >(ASCII codes for SI == Shift In, SO == Shift Out) > No, this will not work because the shell traps all control-code. The way to do this is enter the command: echo ^o and hit return. note that: ^o means caret o (not control-o). You wont be able to see what you type, or at least it will look like a lot of garbage but dont be alarmed it will work. I use version 2.07M (thanks matt), but I think it work on others as well. Aside, is there a newer version of the shell. Incidentally, you can use echo ^Whatever to get alot of nifty results. Change screen colors, echo special codes to the printer, etc. experiment and see what you get. >--Chuck McManis
