Thanks very much. It seems to work. I suggest adding comments at the start of the output explaining the way to use the output. And moving point to the start, so the user sees the comments. For example: ;; Evaluate the Lisp code below to make Emacs show the standard ;; replacement character as a substitute for each undisplayable character. ;; One way to do that is with C-x h M-x eval-region RET. ;; Normally you would put this code in your Emacs initialization file, ;; perhaps conditionally based on the type of terminal. ;; See . -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
