Is there any way to access chr characters above 127? I would like to send a perfect box object to the printer instead of using horizontal dashes and vertical characters available in chr 1-127.

You can use the CodePage object from the BytesConverter library.
With:
CodePage.FileOpen(DataFileName,cWrite,437)
CodePage.FileWrite("Text")
CodePage.FileWrite(Chr(150)&Chr(151))
You should use the CodePAge 437 Code page 437 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You could also use the BinaryFile library, have a look here: http://www.b4x.com/forum/questions-...n-i-display-technical-unicode-characters.html

chr(128)-chr(255)
After further review I have found the corner and line displays available in the chr(9400) to chr(9600) range without using 437 gymnastics. This may help someone else who is trying to display or print boxes.
