I think I would have preferred to see four box corner characters, ala IBM, so that we could make up boxes in text. Now some bright spark is going to say "Why not change the font youself". Why should I have to support 3 resolution (6 if you include the TT) to get such a simple addition. Atari should have put something *useful* in there in the first place. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ !
