Basic ASCII Characters in Windows and Help Files
The basic ASCII characters for the most part are the same in Windows as in DOS and Word Processing applications. This is included mostly as an aid to programmers using the Character set numbers in strings and commands.

ASCII characters 0, 10, and 13 do not display anything on most Windows files or Help files. Character 9 will move to a tab, making a blank space on a Help file. 16-25 and 27-31 produce a black area on the screen (…). So do 1-9, 11, 12, 14, and 15 on some Windows applications; however, they cause error messages in the Help file compiler and many other applications. Number 26 clearly also causes an 'unanticipated end of file' error in most applications.
