From DOS 3.3, I think you just type INVERSE before you catalog. Any
control character in the filename would get masked into a displayable character
and boom, there it is.
At least, I seem to remember something like that :-)

If you type inverse and then catalog the control characters do NOT show up. However, dos pads each fileename with spaces, so any filename that contains unprintable characters willhaave a shorter line of inverse spaces following it. This way you can tell IF a filename has an unprintable character in it but not what it is. The easiest way is to type in the program which has been posted from the manual (whichever manual it is - i haven't used it for about 6 years).
