Nope, nothing special for the door program to do to display IBM extended ASCII
(CP437, chars 127-255). BTW, characters 0-31 are control codes (e.g. 7 is beep,
13 is carriage return, 10 is line feed, etc.) and most terminals are not going
to "print" a character for many of the control codes since the provide a
different function.
