  ASCII is close enough for me... (grin)

  Oh. Borland has thi\ose. These aren't ANSI (ascii) but they work in 
DOS, UNIX and Windows. Bloody ANSI is useless. Does trav() use them, 
or what? I'd just as soon stick to a set of words that will mean 
something to someone and trav() does score high in the Mysterious 
Stakes...
