   OK in WinPoint.   
   In OpenXP, I'm seeing "P".   
      
    AA> alt-228 = X   
   In WinPoint, I'm seeing "X".   
   In OpenXP, I'm seeing "S".   
      
    AA> X <- check/tick!   
   In WinPoint, I'm not seeing the Square Root symbol, I'm seeing "X".   
   In OpenXP, I'm not seeing anything at all.   
      
   In fact, there's no Square Root Symbol in my ASCII chart.

   See above.
