Why Don't Graphics Characters Work?

Many Stuart users have periodically written me with bug reports about how their Stuart window suddenly started spouting strange characters at them, even for output that they knew shouldn't look that way.  These users had somehow managed to get Stuart into a mode where the emulation was performing it's mapping of output to vt100 graphics characters.

Stuart2.4 allows the user to disable display of vt100 graphics characters from the Emulation pane of the inspector panels.  The DisplayGraphicChars preference defaults to NO, so Stuart will not display vt100 graphics characters.  This decision was made because a very high percentage of users will never have a need to display these characters.

If you do need to display them, turn the preference on in the Preferences panel.
