Summary:
   Certain characters, specifically, the question mark (?), the
semicolon (;), the colon (:), the exclamation mark (!), and the null
(zero) character, cannot be typed into the string under Print Options
Setup because Multiplan defines these as special characters. 
   The workaround to this problem is to enter these characters by
typing &H and the hex equivalent of the character's decimal value in
the ASCII table. For example, if you want to send the code Escape?, 
type the following in Print Options Setup: 

   ^[&H3f

   ^[ stands for Escape, &H tells Multiplan that the code that follows
is in Hex, and 3f is the hex equivilent of decimal 63 (the question
mark is number 63 in the ASCII table).
