line, HELP may translate any of the characters in that line to a
different character representation. You use the .TR format word to
request that this translation be done. For example, to request that all
blanks (x'40') in the file be displayed as question .arks, enter:
.tr 40 ?
To stop the translation of the question mark as a blank, enter: ? ?
Note that when the .TR format word is used without operands, the
translation of all characters is stopped. Section 18. HELP File Naming Conventions and Creation 324.13
