C:\DIST\SWR_1_FUSS\area>


I have changed a help file in the help.are file....

changed from the stock "help strength" to one that was more visually pleasing to me.. but it tells me there is a problem with the _ & | characters when i try to put those in the help strength file..

CHARACTER usage:
 ______
/      \____
|           \       
| &R RED      |
\___________/


_ = ________ (Put in as a seperator line.. Trying to make my help files have a ASCII folder around them)

| = | BLAHBLAH | (again the ASCII folder thing)

& = &R (Trying to add color.. worked for other help file)

Q1.) why does it have a problem with the _ and | characters if they are both in the greeting and it dosent have a problem with those????

Q2.) and why can i add color to help gtell but not help strength?

Q3.) is there a color change limit or something?

Q4.) Oh yes.. and how do i add color to the greeting help file? the &* thing isnt working because.. i think its because ascii hasnt been set yet.. how do i change this
