How do I control the conversion of characters when importing a text
file?
I've got some charts created in a text file made up from lots of
hyphen characters (ASCII 45), when imported in to OPro any two hyphens
together are replaced by an em-dash (ASCII 152).
How can I switch this off so that the correct number of hyphens are
left intact?
So far the only way I can stop this happening is if the text is passed
to the keyboard input buffer to simulate that it has just been typed
directly into OPro - then it doesn't translate -- into ?
This is a small example of what's happening, though it may not display
correctly in an email depending on how the ACSII 152 character is
handled.
