Kind of like what I've seen Bomb Bloke do, I was hoping to be able to see ascii characters in a grid. pretty much 8*4, with characters 127 - 159.

I for one am unsure what you mean. What was the question? Are you talking about this sort of thing?

I think he means like the gif on this

Yeah, what dragon said. for example:

a b c d
e f g h
i j k l
m n o p

You just have to loop through the range and use string.char to get the numbers

ex:

term.setCursorPos(1,1)

for i = 128, 159 do
  if (i-128)%8 == 0 and i~=128 then
	print("")
  end
  term.write(string.char(i).." ")
end

note 127-159 is 33 characters, so it will not fit evenly in a 8*4 pattern.

Thanks for the help
