Dear Sheila, What a revelation! In my word processors, both Word Perfect and Word, the ASCII characters are produced with alt-ctrl and the number. I always thought that they were unavailable in e-mail because that combo doesn't work. Do you have a reference to all of the characters? I have misplaced mine. I would have written this privately, but your e-mail address didn't appear on the PBS message.
