[Coco] Text Files in Coco OS-9

[Lothan]

Try Ctrl+, (comma) and Ctrl+. (period). You can also use the natural 
keyboard instead of the emulated keyboard (Options+Keyboard->Natural.

If all else fails, the Microware C compiler supports trigraphs for special 
characters:

?= is #
?/ is \
?' is ^
?( is [
?) is ]
?! is |
?< is {
?> is }
?- is ~

Another option is to edit the source files on the host computer using your 
favorite text editor and then using ToolShed to transfer the source files to 
the disk image. The syntax is something like

os9 get disk1.os9,DEFS/OS9Defs C:\Defs\OS9Defs
os9 put C:\Defs\OS9Defs disk1.os9,DEFS/OS9Defs

Note the comma between the virtual disk image and the path.

Hey guys, another newbee question. I'm trying to program in OS-9 C using the 
MESS as emulator.So far so good, but I didn't find a way to create the { 
and } characters in Coco2.I was looking at Coco2 character set and those two 
are not listed.This means they don't exist in Coco2. How can I create them, 
using the standart "edit" editor in OS-9?There is any other character that 
is accepted in OS-9 C language to start and and a function description? 
Thanks again,Helio
