   Hard to believe Vim :SET LIST wouldn't catch that. But I use codepage   
   KOI8-R so that wouldn't show up for me. I'll have to try Vim on unicode   
   terminal.   
   But my ADUMP would catch it for sure; it's showing the values Forth sees.   
      
   Ok, tried on unicode terminal and the PDF I used had the correct value,   
   45, for minus after copy to text file that I loaded with Forth.   
   (Vim  ga over the minus also showed 45). Also if I type minus in   
   Vim on text file and it had the correct value. So your particular   
   PDF file was the culprit; so yes, all be warned.
