Greg:

If you can get a copy of the old hp2645 terminal manual,  all the line
drawing characters are
included.  What I remember is that to access the line drawing you need
to access the secondary
character set with control + N (shift out) & control O (shift in).

Line Drawing Characters: http://www.robelle.com/smugbook/linedraw.html

Note: You may need to define your screens as 132 character rather than
80. The escape sequences take up some of the 80 characters, but don't
actually display. So if screen is only defined as 80 characters wide you
can not type the full width line if non-displaying characters are included.

Hope this helps.
