- I redefined some text mode characters. One is like ASCII 196 (a long
- "hyphen" that stretchs the length of the character cell) but is
- supposed to occupy only the bottom row of the definition (unlike 196
- which, roughly, lies on the middle row).
-
- But one of the end columns won't display--resulting in a dashed, instead
- of solid, line when I write a string of these.
-
- I dimly recall that only certain charcters can be defined as line
- characters, but I've tried redefining 184, 189, and 190 and none of
- them work.
-
- Thnaks for any help.
