The LevelII manual contains in "Font Select Font", "The fonts are ordered with 
characters in the following ranges:
$00-$1F  International characters
$20-$7F  Standard ASCII characters

There is no equivalent in OS-9 to the Basic PRINT CHR$(#). The closest is the 
command Display. On text screens, display shows values from $20-$7F. On graphics 
screens, display shows additional values from $BA-DA.
You will have to look at the source code for display to tell if the range can be 
expanded.

Maybe Curtis can say more about how to get additional characters onto the screen 
without an assembly language program.
