We have a client that wishes to enter pound signs into a text field which will then be printed. The pound sign is appearing OK on the screen but when printed is appearing as È {E grave} (on our printer it appears as ú {u acute}).
Investigation shows that the printer uses ASCII 156 as a pound sign but PRO IV is using ASCII 163 (HTML also uses 163 for pound £ , codes 127-159 being unused). Looking at CHARMAP in windows most fonts have the pound sign as 163, however the MS linedraw and Terminal fonts use 156. Cutting and pasting a œ {oe dipthong} from the Terminal font in CHARMAP into the field shows a vertcal bar in GUI but prints a pound sign. Is there a way to get the pound sign to show on the screen (both in GUI and green screen) and print correctly?

Finally got an answer from PRO IV on this. In $CRT you can enter a code set on the last page. In order to print the £ sign we had to set this to CODE1252.
Only took PRO IV Ltd. 62 days to come up with this answer.
