No interaction needed. Just passing code strings back and forth. Not
processing it.

Pasting is all I want. But using AV2ANSI not all characters appeared. I'll
stick with what I described above. And revisit when I upgrade my APL.

Thank you! I was not aware of this group. I see there that Brent died. How
sad. I did not know this. I do know that the e-mail I once had for him no
longer worked and I couldn't find a replacement.

What ever happened to Jim Weigang? Looking up his West Springfield address
I find the house was sold in 1999 (and many times after that).
