With ResEd I can put them into my system file. That allows me to print a better bold, italic, etc. type version than the printing software will print. Of course, 0 - 31 and 127 are as you noted - "reserved for system use". Designing your own keyboard layout also allows easy encryption. The "key" is the altered keyboard layout. MiKe�
