- I recently saw a post to another group that included text in a box.
- The box was drawn using characters from the extended ascii set--I could
- hardly believe it myself, but it's true.
-
- I know that there are control codes that mail programs like ELM can
- read: ^G and ^L are ones that are familiar to most users. I have also
- seen a (cent sign)E used in a message.
-
- How did the sender of the message I saw manage to create a box?
- And where can I learn more about control codes in ELM?
-
- Thanks
