Hi Marshall:
I check this conf pretty regularly and haven't seen this question before.
Just an FYI.
ME>In binary mode editing (e.g. TSE -b40 myfile), HOW does one enter
ME>an ASCII null?  Alt/nnn is the way I usually enter ascii codes,
ME>but alt/000 doesn't work.  The other way I have tried is [literal]^@, but

I can verify that the Alt-keypad doesn't work (which I suspect is related
to the enhanced function of Semware's Keyboard driver code).  However,
there are at least two ways I've found to enter a null:
1.  Ctrl P Ctrl @
2.  Ctrl A (Ascii Chart - select 0)
If approach 1 is producing a 252 I suspect something amiss in the keyboard
handling.  Perhaps try booting from diskette with no messy TSR's, drivers,
etc.  Or just use #2 -- fewer keystrokes.
Regards,
Mike.
