THE ASCII TABLE DIALOG is invoked from the Options menu
or by pressing 
^A.  It gives an overview of the  Atari
ASCII character set.

CLICK ON A CHARACTER to insert it into a text.

CHOOSE A DIFFERENT TEXT using the pull down menu  below
the character set.


ALTERNATIVE METHODS to get characters not available  on
the keyboard are:

   1. While working  in a  text window, hold  down  the
      ALTERNATE key, type a decimal  ASCII code on  the
      numerical  keypad, and  release  alternate.   The
      character corresponding  to  the  ASCII  code  is
      inserted into the text.
      
      ** This works for all  versions of the  Operating
         System.

      ** The ASCII  code  of the  character  under  the
         mouse pointer is displayed in the ASCII  Table
         dialog.

   2. (dead keys) Press control plus a special code for
      an  accent,   then  type  a  letter.   If  it  is
      available, the letter  and  the  accent  will  be
      combined.  For  a table  of these  codes see  the
      printed manual.
