when running ann program written and assembled with MS Macro Assembler (V4.0)
on either aat&t pc6300 or pc6300+, the extended ascii character set (i.e.
ascii 128 or above) are not output.  rather the value of the character-128 is
output. (Example ALT-205 is the pair of parallel lines used for drawing 
the top or bottom of a box - instead a letter M is output, whose ascii value is 128 less.)

exampleothis code runs fine on a 'real' ibm maany help or pointers would be
greatly appreciated.  I should point out the  BASIC 'type' statement of the
same code DOES work correctly. (i did check to verify that ansi.sys been loaded).

d been loaded.)
