Hi,

I teach a subject that uses Slackware Linux as a teaching
tool. Students need to install the Operating System and
in the Lab notes, I discuss how to do this. Slackware uses
a menu system that is based on the old IBM PC extended character
set. When I try to put this into a verbatim or Verbatim
environment, all of the lines disappear.

Thanks for your help.

-Don
