MS Windows Browse Selection Character

Folks,

I have written a Progress 8.2C CHUI application using Progress browses in a MS Windows DOS box. Unfortunately the users are rejecting this application because of the "non standard" square root character [chr(251)] displayed by progress whenever a record is selected in the CHUI browse.

I have checked the Code Page in the DOS box and this is US 437 which has a square root as character 251. Changing the Code page used in the DOS box did not affect the application which still displayed a square root whenever a record is selected.

I also checked through a CHUI dev session and (as expected) the SESSION:charset and cpinternal are set to iso8859-1 which does not have a square root as character 251.

Yet a quick command:
Display Chr(251).
displays a square root character.

Is there any way that anyone knows of to remove or stop the square root from being displayed on the selected record in CHUI DOS Box browses?

Thanks in anticipation.
