Hello,

     I am writing a menu program using Curses under UNIX Sys V.2 O.S..
What I would like to be able to do is produce graphics characters from the
extended character set.  As an example: the upper left-hand corner character
is Decimal value 218.
     The terminals we are using all emulate VT100.  I know that such characters
can be displayed on said terminals, as I have produced these characters using
a shell script; assigning UL_CORNER="\0154" ; and then echoing "$UL_CORNER".
     I know that in UNIX Sys V.3 that this problem is already solved.
How can I produce such characters under Curses V.2?
