Import in the face of non-printable chars.

| While importing from a .csv file which was generated from an
| Excel spreadsheet, there is a field from which I want to retain
| only alphanumeric characters, discarding punctuation like dashes,
| parentheses, commas, even spaces.  I have an edit which does this
| handily.
| 
| But I came a cropper today when some input fields contained a high-ascii
| character (happend to represent the degree symbol), and my edit gave me
| a blank result.  Even when I bypassed the edit and tried to import the
| .csv field as-is, the filePro field came up blank.
| 
| How to eliminate or ignore a character outside the 0-128 range?

Ah, I had defined the filePro field as ALLUP.  If I change that to *,
then I can import fine with no edit, but that doesn't satisfy the need
to delete all but alphanumeric characters.
