Mr Emmanuel Roche, France: Why are not you answering this one?
Is it because you indeed use these keys? When you don't, I do like
to see your table with the "boxing characters" and the ALT keys
combinations to type to generate them.

Ooppss!! Sorry, Katzy, I was thinking that this was not important, and
that the thread had ended... So, please find below my table of "box
characters":

When you press the 3 letters/numbers with the right hand, the left
hand must press the "Fn" and "Alt" keys. Once you have entered the 3
letters/numbers, you must lift both hands, and the "extended ASCII
character" will appear on your screen. This table works on my French
keyboard under DR-DOS 7.03.

┌ = KJ8 ┬ = J9U ┐ = J9J

├ = J9I ┼ = J97 ┤ = J8?

└ = J9K ┴ = J9L ┘ = KJ7

─ = J9O │ = J79

( ─ = J9O is letter "O", not number "0". As you can see, you need 11
characters to draw any box, while WS4 only has 10 Fkeys redefined.)

And what about this BOX program. I think it is exactly what you were
looking for, at least you wanted to use something like that in one of
your projects:

Although BOX may sound like a graphics program, it is
not.  BOX uses regular ASCII characters so that any
BOX-created screen may be displayed on any color or
monochrome monitor.

Well, I did not found a program named BOX, so I am unsure which one
you are refering to. The above BOX explanation sound typically like
what we used to call "mask generators". Using your cursor keys, you
move your character cursor where you want on your screen, then press
the keys that you want. When finished, the program saves the contents
of the screen, so you can redisplay it at will later.

Me, I used a BASIC program taking as input numbers, and generating bar
graphs using ASCII characters that could then be imported into your
word-processor.

Hope it helps.

Yours Sincerely,
Mr. Emmanuel Roche, France
