It turned out that indeed the host (the AT at our printing office) ignores the high bit of these characters and treats them as Xon/Xoff ($11 and $13). I took the easy way out: before sending I change them into some other never used Ascii code and have them re-converted at the other end. Beats hacking an MS-DOS source co{de :))) Thanks again! -- Paul Molenaar "Just checking the walls" - Basil Fawlty -
