Don't know about Rickman but at least that's a cool car I didn't know about!

I guess none of SPACE SPACES BL, or even your constants, are essential if the standard dictates ASCII. One could always look up the ASCII table. But at least SPACE SPACES BL have an educational value since they are used in Starting Forth.

c d f would cause some bad surprises when programming in HEX.
