>I have an old FoxPro 2.6/Mac application (written with FoxExpress 2.7) that collects data and outputs an ASCII Text file for importing into Quark Express (for subsequent publication purposes). I would like to embed "escape sequences" or the like such that I can control Quark's BOLD On/Off, Italics On/Off, etc. attributes. This would save the client tons of time, as they would no longer have to do global search and replaces once the import is done.
