 DC> It should work, as it is ASCII 

 ml> it comes thru just fine... however, others may see something else or

 ml> codepage/character set translations and/or some system strips the high
 ml> bit off or even strips the entire character... 

I know that there's some characters that liked to mess 
with my printer!
