Well, I've admitted ignorance in this area, but there are several
ASCII characters which
will not print on the screen.

Mostly in the lower number range. A line could look like:

Operator(s):K4SB and then have the non printable characters added to
it, and you would never know.

Just a thought...For you who still have some form of BASIC on your
machine, try this.

For X=0 to 200
PRINT CHR$(X);
