I don't think anyone ever has used them; they were just a suggestion by Bemer which induced him to lobby for \ in ASCII-63. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan at ccil.org The present impossibility of giving a scientific explanation is no proof that there is no scientific explanation. The unexplained is not to be identified with the unexplainable, and the strange and extraordinary nature of a fact is not a justification for attributing it to powers above nature. --The Catholic Encyclopedia, s.v. "telepathy" (1913)
