Here's what we have done to find out what the various special codes are
for our printers.  We have a NEC LC890 for Postscript.

We created a document that contains all codes from 33 to 255.  One column
has the actual coded character, and the other column shows what the 3
digit code is.  Print it out and you have a handy reference.  The coded
characters can use any font (Symbol, Dingbats, etc.), while the reference
column is courier.  A bit tedious, but you only have to do it once.

The printed output will look something like this:

		065	A
		066	B
		 ^	^
		 |	+-- special char, typed with ALT
		 +--------- reference, typed without ALT

This example is what you might see with Times Roman.  My Times Roman bullets
are 249 and 250.

I haven't found any way to determine what ALT keycode you've used for a 
character once it's typed.  Also, of course, the screen display will often
be different from the printed output. WYSINWYG :-).
