    Again, these are ascii control codese

     

    ISA00  or for visual,  ISA[GS]00[GS]  where [GS] is \29 group separator.  Using notepad++ would show ascii control codes in associated files. I've attached a text file that contains the control codes as an example.

     

    http://www.theasciicode.com.ar/ascii-control-characters/group-separator-ascii-code-29.html

     

    However, the .xml project file save/load, it comes back as:

     

    ISA?00? 

     

    no more control codes.

      So, reviewing I see two different issues in supporting control codes (unless there is a workaround...just surprised it works in the tool before save, but doesn't after save/reload).

       

      1. XML versions 1.1 would be needed for the special characters.  -- This loads fine with the current 5.2.1 tool as XML 1.1, but gets overwritten on save.
      2. Need to encode them along the lines of   for GS /29 characters for example. -- This does not load fine with current 5.2.1 tool.
