Control Chars in Code 39

[PeterGoosey]

Hi
Can anyone help - I need to create barcodes containing control characters - to emulate keyboard shortcuts. I am using Code 39.

According to Russ Adam's Barcode1 site at

http://www.adams1.com/pub/russadam/,

not to be confused with BardcodeOne, you need to use the extended Code39. The normal one only allows A-Z, 0-9 and some punctuation, while the extended one allows all 128 Ascii codes. Barcode1 not to be confused with BarcodeOne (

points you to the following site

for an explanation of using a double character approach, like $L for a formfeed, %A for escape. Jim Brown,
