   Hallo mark!   
      
    ml> by blended i mean that i have to hold the modifier button and   
    ml> then hit the two keys, in proper order, to create the character   
      
   Wow.  That sounds far too much like work.   
      
    ml> AFAIK they're just CP437 characters greater than 127   
      
   You mean like the 0x8d I sent that went MIA along a certain path?  Let's see   
   if I can recreate it using utf8 and iconv;   
      
       It's all fun and games until someone loses an    
   .   
      
   On the above line it is U+00EC according to vim but after I exit iconv will   
   convert it to 0x8d which should be the proper cp437 character at your end.   
      
    ml> especially the "box drawing" characters which we use quite a lot   
    ml> when drawing our ASCII/ANSI menus and other screens   
      
   Which should be the same codes on CP866, CP850, and other assorted IBM 8 bit   
   codepages.  They have *NOTHING* to do with ASCII.  There is no such thing as a   
   code higher than 127 in ASCII as ALL ASCII codes are 7 bit characters (ie   
   0-127).  There are exactly zero "box drawing" characters in ASCII.   
      
    ml> if only we were all so lucky   
      
   It has nothing to do with luck.  It is all about making the right choices.
