Would that be Terminal? But that guy is the only person I have 
the problem with. And Fixedsys /does/ show the square as 
brackets.

When a secretary where I worked got a PC in 1984, I was not 
allowed to go near it. The I took a 6-class course in 1988 where 
I managed to program the machine to draw a circle on the green 
monitor. I will never forget that feeling!

I didn't get near a computer again until I got another job, and 
by then we were well into Win 3.
