\ctThe above box was first constructed as a rectangle with I, M, ';', ':', H,
and '<' characters. The backslash attribute codes were then added in
in front and behind the 'box' characters. \sbYou can see the construction
by pressing the 'i' key several times while \IDISPLAY\iing this text.\sn\cw
\crBe sure to use ordinary spaces instead of tabs in the text.\cw Otherwise,
DISPLAY will not align text properly, since the tab character is shown
as an IBM special character. DISPLAY will show all of the IBM special
and alternate characters except for carriage returns and linefeeds.

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
