All text-mode characters are available for anyone following the
procedures oulined in my message (TI-85 ROM dump.) I assume you mean
characters such as the floating square, filled block, shaded block, etc.
While on the subject: has anyone else wondered about why some of the
characters are not available from the [CHAR][MISC] menu? I am refering to
the characters like the semi-colon, the upside down exclamation mark
(really!). It would be neat actually to have some of the others like all
of the different arrows ( thin, thick ) in your programs. Unfortunatly,
if you don't have link <sigh> :( then you will be stuck with a big ugly
program also.

If you missed the original message, just create two programs, say 'A' and
'B'. Put a menu statement in prog 'A' Run A and turn off the TI when
paused. Turn on the TI and type something and press [ENTER]. [EDIT]
program 'A' and [Rcl] program B into A. Search around for the chars you
want and then [DELc] the rest of the program!

Hope that helps,
        Meru.
