Ah, yes but your problem is posting answers about Windows while using a Mac.  So 
what is the question - the answer will be no, maybe or yes.

I am running Windows 98 on my Connectix Virtual PC for Mac OS X. I used to use it on a PC. It is actually EASIER to look things up in the Virtual PC if I have to cuz it gets out of my way completely whenever i minimize it (Can a real PC do that? No.) I am also surrounded by win98 PCs networked in my home (by me) and in my parents office (not by me, but close enough.) My dad runs 98 on his dell inspiron and my bro runs win2k on his Compaq Evo, grandparents now have XP and without me they are all lost. In fact, I am so sick of PCs, I got a Mac. SO if i say i know windows 98, then i know windows 98. My specialty is writing posts to people IN ENGLISH... =o ! How you Like THAT, Guru! Oh, Dear! :-P :-P :-P
(btw, i think theres a bug with those blank question responeses, i might tell the Webmaster. And "email me" should be checked by defualt or they should be told to bookmark thier posts.)

Actually, you gave a pretty good answer about the ASC characters, and answer that i dont even understand, and I was only asking in jest... I'm amazed. Clearly I ought not waste any more of your time. How's about i jus' field dem newbie questions for ya, so's you can save all your expertise for the truly worthy, eh, Odie? (On the plus side, I did manage to convince Carol that i knew more than her but only by accident. Cant prove it tho cuz i lost that thread.)

Sorry if you missed the attempt at humor.  ASCII character code 20 is a space (or 
blank).  Keep up  your efforts - you have found some answers I  doubt I would have 
had the patience to follow up on.
