Well, actually you should use the Symbol font <Alt>0183, since when you enter
the pseudo IBM PC Extended character <Alt>250 it gets translated to the
ANSI character <Alt>0183.

By using the <Alt>xxx entry method (for IBM PC Ext. or PC-8 character set)
instead of the <Alt>0xxx method (of ANSI character set) you will only get a
limited number of the Symbol font characters.  For example, with the <Alt>xxx
method you can only access the sans serif (i.e. Helvetica) Registered
Trademark (R) and TM symbols at locations 131 and 132, where with the
<Alt>0xxx method you can access all six of the serif (i.e. Times Roman) and
sans serif Copyright (C), Registered Trademark (R) and TM symbols at locations
0210, 0211, 0212, 0226, 0227, and 0228.

I currently have a document that has two tables that list the ANSI and IBM PC
Extended (PC-8) character set encodings, but you have to highlight four
seperate areas on the two tables to change the font.  I am planning on
writing a macro program to do the font change, so the user just has to select
the font from a list.  I mainly use the document for printing out new sample
sheets of Type 1 fonts for use with ATM.
