I tell ya, ever since we got rid of the ASR-33 Teletype, kids today just aren't
getting the same education in the fundamentals.
Next, I suppose you'll be saying you don't know what makes EBCDIC funky...

From: "Tim Roberts" <timr@probo.com>Ummm, the ASCII codes for the control characters ARE the "position of the
pressed key in the alphabet". That is, the ASCII code for ctrl-A is 1.
The ASCII code for ctrl-Z is 26. Backspace is ctrl-H. Tab is ctrl-I.There are no ASCII codes for shifted control keys. Ctrl-A is 1, Shift-A
is 65, unshifted-A is 97.Really? You learn something new every day.
