CHR$() will turn a code into a character, and I recognize CHR$(27) as being the Escape key from my old Epson days.
I think that you can use ASC$() to turn them back, but you probably don't need to if all you want to do is to print them.
ok, only problems is some of them are not just (27), but (27 116 1), whats the best way to go about this
