Howdy!, Holger,

There are a lot of ODD things here in this computer shack, ME for one.

CP 850 must not follow the ASCII Table that I seen.

 HG> Regarding Tabs: Most editors can be set to start a new paragraph

 EV>EDIT and Wordpad can use Tabs too.

I think EDIT having 8 space Tabs is from back in the old days of
using Typewriters, It has been a long time since I used a Typewriter
and I can't remember if Tab length can be adjusted, I remember that
Margins are adjustable.

I can identify with that since I live (and Worked) near the Ohio River.
I"ve seen the ice in the river several times since the 1960's, but it
never was hard enough to walk on, although a few tried, and some of
them got in trouble doing that.

One morning when I was at work just as the Sun was rising I saw
Fog (Steam?) rising from the water and begin to gather into a small
cloud.

In the Winter on a Windy Day it was/is unbearable and I believe the
area I live in has had tempretures of -10F/-23C a few times.

 EV>I do drive in the Winter when the road has snow or ice on it but

A few years ago I saw someone walking with Snowshoes and wearing a
backpack near one of the Interstate Highway On-Ramps.

Hey!, it happens here too.

Back when I used a pencil and notepad to copy CW QSO's, when the
writing got cold/old I had trouble reading my own Chicken Scratching.
When I started using a typewriter, reading my Copy wasn't too bad.
