To display the 256 CHR$ on screen with PB35 :

COLOR 7,0:CLS
FOR K = 0 TO 255
COLOR 0,2
' you can use any color
PRINT RIGHT$(" "+STR$(K),3);
COLOR 7,0
PRINT " ";CHR$(K);" ";
IF (K+1) MOD 12=0 THEN PRINT
NEXT K

For Vertical :

FOR I = 0 TO 21
FOR J = 0 TO 11
K = I+(J*22)
IF K<256 THEN PRINT RIGHT$(" "+STR$(K),3);" ";CHR$(K);" ";
NEXT J:PRINT
NEXT I

Regards

Don't forget the ASCII table in the on-line help, or in the back of the Reference Guide.

Having been a DOS Accounts Software Programmer for many years
now, I and many others don't bother to indicate the Currency
money values are entered in, assumed to be "£" in the U.K.

Another work-around I sometimes use in "£" vs "$" transaction
entries is to head the columns, indicating the Currency involved.

You could design your data input screens and reports headed thus:

£ | Euro |
~~~~~|~~~~~|
100.00 | 163.00 |

The above does not look like the way I entered it ! The Forum
Formatter does not recognise "Spaces" nor CHR$(255). I am sure
you got the idea

I personally do not like every money value prefixed with a
Currency symbol, neither do my clients ! Gives operators reading
values on small point-of-sales monitors a headache
