   I was reading XP's Help and Support pages to see how to make the Band-Aid   
   graphic in Notepad and read something about the Character Map.   
      
   I looked in Character Map for the Characters I could use to make an image   
   of a Band-Aid in Notepad and found two of them I could use.   
   In the Grid, I found the Full Block character is U + 2588   
   and the Light Shade Character is U + 2591   
      
   Using Notepad I held the Alt Key and entered 2588 on the Keypad a total   
   of 5 times. (I only entered the digits, I didn't type the letter U first).   
      
   Next I held the Alt Key and entered 2591 a total of 5 times.   
      
   Again I keyed in the Code Alt 2588 5 times.   
      
   What I saw on the screen looked like the image that was in the Johnson and   
   Johnson Tagline I used in a message some time ago.   
      
   The word Band-Aid is a brand name for a Adhesive Bandage the Johnson &   
   Johnson Company sells in the U.S.A.   
      
   Sorry for the confusion, Holger, I thought the word Band-Aid was a common   
   word that everyone knew.   
      
   The editor that MultiMail DOS uses is called MS-DOS Editor, Version 2.0.026,   
   Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp 1995.   
      
   It doesn't show the same character(s).   
   It shows ...............   
      
   On my screen the character Alt 2588 looks like a small capital L letter,   
   and the character Alt 2591 looks like it is Heart shaped but the top is flat,   
   it looks more like a Triangle with the pointed end at the bottom.   
      
   I'm wondering if everyone sees the same thing that I see on my screen.   
   Let Me know. Thanks.
