Or if you don't have the loop and do functions, this kludge will work: (defun ascii () (interactive) (setq i 0) (while (<= i 255) (when (zerop (mod i 8)) (insert "\n")) (insert (format " %3d %c " i i)) (setq i (1+ i)) ) ) ;; maybe let i would work here instead of setq i. For some reason it doesn't produce a glyph for chars 128-159, only the octal code \nnn. This is really out of the ascii range but so is 160 to 255, for which I see the glyphs. Ed
