Hm. My chart is accessed with 'man ascii' However the Linux
'man ascii' is a mess to read, and the one on SCO doesn't give
decimal.   The FreeBSD man page is pure Berkeley code so if someone
wants the compressed cat file [or the [nt]roff-able version] and
doesn't want to paw through the stuff at www.freebsd.org, send me
an email and I'll send it along.

My 'h' returns my ksh history.
