Confusing Chr$ explanation

[Space_Ghost]

Hi Space Ghost.
I said I'd read through the references you gave me, but I lied - I skipped the Alt Codes one, as I thought these were just Windows inventions.
Seems like they are, but they're the only way to get some characters that aren't in the ASCII and Unicode lists. 
Thanks for the explanations and references, it's much clearer now. 

My Pleasure !!! I myself worked through this not too long ago....glad I could help. Cheers.
