   are you thinking of the "¡" (lower case i with the right leaning accent on   
   top)? alt-161, 0xA1 in the CP437 table? some systems may not display the   
   character after it passes through intermediate systems... IIRC, it was used   
   for, as you say, soft carriage returns and i think mainly with QWK stuff...   
   some tossers do have an option to leave the "¡" alone and not convert it or   
   act on it...   
      
    SD> That was a very long time ago now though.   
      
   it was :)
