Thanks John, for pointing that out. Please forgive my ignorance. Maybe I'm
confused. Now, I'm not sure how to interpret this definition from the
Tex-Edit Plus Help Guide:

------
ASCII

The American Standard Code for Information Interchange assigns a number to
represent each letter, symbol and number used in the English language. The
ASCII popup menu in the bottom left corner of the Tex-Edit document window
displays the entire ASCII set. <-- !! Hmmmm??? !! - bk.

0-31 (low ASCII) -- Control characters such as carriage return, tab,
formfeed and linefeed.

32-127 -- Standard English characters, numbers and symbols.

128-255 (high ASCII) -- Special ornaments, curly quotes, accented letters
with diacritical markings. These characters differ across various computer
platforms.

--End--

Is this definition wrong? Misleading?

Should I consider that the characters 128-255 that Tex-Edit displays are
special entities exclusive to the MAC platform and not ASCII characters
afterall?

Am I just guilty of committing an ID-10-T Error?

Thanks in advance for any clarification. I can appreciate a good slap on the
back of the head!
