= SUMMARY =

Some communications systems require that special ASCII characters be sent. These can be sent in the Communications module of Microsoft Works by holding down the OPTION key while pressing the appropriate letter key. The ASCII codes and the hexadecimal value they transmit are defined by the following table:

OPTION Key +    Hex Value     ASCII Character -    ---
