seemed to have tricked IB with "@1F@" vs. "_"

Posted by Bob A on July 17, 2019 at 23:42:04:

had a table of ASCII (VIS)ual (OPT)ions in an INCLUDE FILE

59 ^VISOPTS.INC 00000E01 SET VIS.OPT.TILDE$ = "~"
60 ^VISOPTS.INC 00000E01 SET VIS.OPT.UNDERSCORE$ = "_"
61 ^VISOPTS.INC 00000E01 SET VIS.OPT.US$ = "@1F@"
61 ^VISOPTS.INC 07 E01 ***************************************@1F@"
62 ^VISOPTS.INC 00000E01 SET VIS.OPT.VT$ = "@0B@"

because I'm having trouble seeing difference between (for example)
PIPE
Exclamation Point (Ecphonie pour les francophone)

were I a betting man, I'd have figured that the literal "_" would have caused the problem, not when hiding inside At Signs as "@1f@"

so... put an exclamation point (I think) at the beginnings

60 ^VISOPTS.INC 00000E01 SET VIS.OPT.UNDERSCORE$ = "_"
61 ^VISOPTS.INC 00000E01 ! SET VIS.OPT.US$ = "@1F@"
61 ^VISOPTS.INC 07 E01 **********************************@1F@"
62 ^VISOPTS.INC 00000E01 SET VIS.OPT.VT$ = "@0B@"

still doesn't like this... so I'll pull out both lines...

just don't really know which is (actually) causing the problem, but
since pulling both lines worked, and removed the E07 in the compile... no Problem...
something to ponder at a later date...
Thanx
