   I started developing user documentation for a DOS application by, in
   part, setting up the DOS app in a window and copy/pasting screens to
   WinWrite. These screens include high order ASCII "drawing" characters
   which are translated into: +, -, |. I would like to retain the
   original characters, but haven't figured out a way to do so.
 
   Given the translation, after "File - pLacing" the WinWrite document
   in PageMaker, all dashes "-" are compressed (using the Courier font).
   Thus, eighty dashes look like forty dashes. Spaces and all other
   characters retain their mono-type size. I would like to retain the
   original dash size, but haven't figured out a way to do so.
 
   Any help on either font problem will be greatly appreciated by me and
   the readers of the documentation. At this time I am forced to
   eliminate these special characters from the copy/paste transfer and
   use the PageMaker line/box drawing tools (laborious).
