HELPLIB.HLB  —  PASCAL  Lexical Elements, Character Set
  VSI  Pascal  uses  the  extended  American  Standard  Code   for
  Information  Interchange (ASCII) character set.  The is extended
  ASCII character set contains 256 characters, which  include  the
  following:

   o  Uppercase letters  A  through  Z  and  lowercase  letters  a
      through z

   o  Integers 0 through 9

   o  Special characters, such as the ampersand (&), question mark
      (?), and equal sign (=)

   o  Nonprinting characters, such as the space, tab,  line  feed,
      carriage  return, and form feed (use of these characters may
      improve the legibility of your programs)

   o  Extended, unspecified characters with numeric codes from 128
      to 255

  The VSI Pascal compiler does not distinguish  between  uppercase
  and   lowercase   letters   except   when   they  appear  inside
  apostrophes.

  For a complete listing of the ASCII character set, see  the  "HP
  Pascal Language Reference Manual."
