Extended ASCII characters using VI editor

[jay78]

How can I enter extended ASCII characters(127-255) in a file using the VI editor?

Thanks!

I use cut and paste when using a telnet session via Wind-Ohs
Not sure there's any other way !? Dickie Bird (-)))

Here is one way:
echo "\0247" > /tmp/test

vi file

[ position the cursor where you want the ASCII character]

:r /tmp/test

This will read in the contents of the file, which has the ASCII character.
