I was reading XP's Help and Support pages to see how to make the Band-Aid
graphic in Notepad and read something about the Character Map.
I looked in Character Map for the Characters I could use to make an image
of a Band-Aid in Notepad and found two of them I could use.
In the Grid, I found the Full Block character is U + 2588
and the Light Shade Character is U + 2591
Using Notepad I held the Alt Key and entered 2588 on the Keypad a total
of 5 times. (I only entered the digits, I didn't type the letter U first).
Next I held the Alt Key and entered 2591 a total of 5 times.
Again I keyed in the Code Alt 2588 5 times.
What I saw on the screen looked like the image that was in the Johnson and
Johnson Tagline I used in a message some time ago.
The word Band-Aid is a brand name for a Adhesive Bandage the Johnson &
Johnson Company sells in the U.S.A.
Sorry for the confusion, Holger, I thought the word Band-Aid was a common
word that everyone knew.
The editor that MultiMail DOS uses is called MS-DOS Editor, Version 2.0.026,
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp 1995.
It doesn't show the same character(s).
It shows ...............
On my screen the character Alt 2588 looks like a small capital L letter,
and the character Alt 2591 looks like it is Heart shaped but the top is flat, it
looks more like a Triangle with the pointed end at the bottom.
I'm wondering if everyone sees the same thing that I see on my screen.
Let Me know. Thanks.
