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 drop 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. 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.
