This is a quirk of Code Page 850. The fix is to switch to CP437. You can
do this either globally, by setting the value of DF LA to 437 in
SETTINGS.DFL, or locally (in the current document only), by embedding
 at the top of the file -- command LA 437 -- and then
SAving and re-CAlling the file. The change will affect how certain high-
order characters print, so if you need those characters, remember to
revert to CP850 before printing.
