If you intend on using this method for entering graphics, I would
like to suggest an alternative.  CTRLALT is a program which you install
in memory and which provides an easier interface.  You can map the
numpad to several different sets of graphics patterns/greek characters.
You can enter an upper-left corner character by pressing ALT-Num7.  A
lower-right corner would be entered by pressing ALT-Num3.

CTRLALT also has some other very handy features which make obtaining it
worthwhile.
