I can do the following in perl:
And as you can see the \xca result is the Ê character. If I wanted to duplicate this very thing in newlisp, how would I do it?

Try this:
Code: Select all
~> perl -e 'print "\xca\n"'
?
~> newlisp -e '(println (char 0xCA))'
?
"\202"
~> newlisp -e '(println "\202")'
?
"\202"
This would be the equivalent to the Perl code, what you see is largely dependent how you platform/terminal is configured. The above I did on a MacOS X PowerBook. I guess you did your example on MS-Windows with code page 859 with displayable characters in upper-ASCII.

Nah, I actually did this on OBSD. But regardless, your solution was perfect. Thanks :)
