Hi Jon,

So thats where the "%" sign comes from. I messed with punch tapes years ago briefly, but don't remember much about them.

We'll try that next time we get back into it.

Thanks, Ron

OK, then, you need to send a particular character that identifies the
character code to
the control. If it doesn't see that character, it ignores everything.
It is often the "%"
character that is used for this purpose. One of the reasons for this is
so that the
part number or description could be punched in human-readable form of
holes in
the begnning of the tape.
