I cannot do a Dos Copy under Pragma of a file that contains underlined character because I cannot find how to write its name.   How should I do it?

Ron Fish,  (sysdes@xmission.com), June 1998

I made a text file in DOS with the only character as an underline.  I went into Pragma and performed a DOS OPEN READ and then DOS READ into a noun called  UNDERLINE.

You cannot have an underline as an expression (such as JOIN the value   "_"  to the value "this") because the underline is the CONTROL character precursor. You can however perform a JOIN the value UNDERLINE to the value "this" and it should work.
