To answer Both Ken's and Bob's os question, this is Win XP Pro Service pack
3.

I did one more test.

@keyd:
MSGBOX "Check Mark"<chr("251"){"\nLeft Brace"<chr("123")
END

The display for this is correct.

However in 
Listb:
sl=listbox(fileds)

::fileds[sl]=fields[sl]<chr("251") ;GOTO listb

There is a left brace next to the value in fields[sl] look like this City {

Now this will indicate to the user that City was selected, however, I would
prefer the check mark.

Is it likely that the listbox is not able to display characters in this
range?
