As a few of you might have seen in IRC in the past few days, I've recently (finally, even) started working on some SSJS to customize Synchronet the right way (and to add some demo/anim doors, also). I seem to be having a bit of a problem getting high ascii to display properly, though, through both console.print() and console.putmsg(). I've been trying to display the high ascii, when possible, via \xxx decimal format. I'm not really finding the documentation, that I'm sure exists somewhere, on how to do this properly. Or is there another high ascii mapping that Synchronet uses?
Anyway, I'd really appreciate any pointers in the right direction, or anything else you might be able to offer. TIA

I've been trying to display the high ascii, when possible, via \xxx decimal format. I'm not really finding the documentation, that I'm sure

Here are a couple of different ways of printing a full block, which is 219 in decimal or DB in hexadecimal:

console.putmsg(ascii(219));
console.putmsg("\xDB");

Note that "\xxx" for decimal will not work. "\x##" where ## is a hexadecimal code will (as in the second example above.)

decimal format. I'm not really finding the documentation, that I'm sure exists somewhere, on how to do this properly. Or is there another high
ascii mapping that Synchronet uses? Anyway, I'd really appreciate any

http://asciitable.com/ and presumably various other sites will have a chart. That site lacks hex codes for the extended set, however it's easy enough to convert from decimal, or just use the first method I showed.
