Just installed Version 5.16.5

(This is Windows'nt)

The "Box Drawing Mode" under "Misc" is now "greyed-out"

Help-On-Help doesn't have the word "box"

How do I activate it ?

(Or Can I ?)

{MISC, Box drawing mode} is only available when the current
display font uses the "OEM" character set. With the (now) default
"ANSI" character set, this item is greyed out. The display font
is selected with {VIEW, Font}.

The installation now lets you select either "VEDIT Ansi" or
"VEDIT OEM" as the initial font; "VEDIT Ansi" is now the default
because it is more compatible with other Windows programs.

You could have pressed for the {MISC} menu and then
for on-line help for this menu.

Ted.
