TRANSFER Name Character Mappings:
1) Not all characters are displayable or keyable on all terminals.
This is especially true in international networks or where more
than one language is available on a system. For CORRESPONDENT
NAMES, DISTRIBUTION LIST NAMES and FOLDER NAMES only, TRANSFER
allows these normally unreachable characters to be displayed and
keyed on inappropriate terminals. This capababilty does NOT
extend to the text of a message nor to the subject line text.
2) TRANSFER does name character mapping by making use of an
EXTENSION MAP defined for each terminal which specifies how
these characters are to be represented. The following tables
define this for various 653X terminal configurations. This is
not needed where a single language (plus English) and terminal
type is to be used in a TRANSFER network.
Where multiple languages or terminal types are in use it will be
useful to copy the appropriate attached table and give a copy to
each user.
3) For 653X terminals configured for USASCII
