Using a custom character table

You can create a custom character table file and then translate it to a custom character conversion file by using the Custom Character Table Translate command. The custom character table file is stored in the "GTABLE" file in the library where HULFT is installed. The custom character conversion file is stored in the "GTEXTD" file in the library where HULFT is installed.
