Greg,
My advice is to drop the right-hand side of your boxen. It's easier when
you don't have to calculate how many spaces is required for them to line
up correctly.
I use the following method in my scripts/jobs when I need to send
messages to the console.
#-- place in the script/job initialisation.
setvar t 'tellop ![chr(14)+"R"+rpt(";",50)]'
setvar m 'tellop ![chr(14)+"5"+rpt(";",50)]'
setvar b 'tellop ![chr(14)+"F"+rpt(";",50)]'
setvar s 'tellop ![chr(14)+":"+chr(15)]'
#-- use whenever you need to send a message to the console.
!t
!s title line
!m
!s message text line 1
!s message text line 2
!b
#-- place in the script cleanup (jobs don't need it).
deletevar t, m, b, s

Subject: Re: [HP3000-L] line draw characters
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.
