Most text mode window borders use "-" for horizontal lines, "|" for 
vertical lines, and "+" for corners. (If the system has line drawing 
characters like the PC, they usually use those, but the coco3 doesn't 
have those.) The coco3 does have the |, -, and + characters. These 
obviously take up one character cell outside of the actual window.
