Might anyone know how to make a nbsp (160|0xA0) character? I am using a Dell Latitude D620 running Windows XP and then starting Exceed 9.0 defaulting to native window emulation for my X (us.kbf keymapping) (Latin-1 symbol set I believe) and calling an xterm (fontdefault, whatever that might be) with login shell zsh (3.0.8) from a machine (Netra 1280) running Solaris 9. Does anyone have any idea what esc|ctrl|etc sequence might generate it? If any more information would help, I will tell what I can. I did not copy and paste from Windows, so it is not that I grabbed it and ported it over.

(I accidentally made the non-breaking space character on the command line and it caused me to spend about an hour needlessly debugging a script of mine because it joined my option to my argument akin to

prog -opt\ arg

or

prog "-opt arg"

instead of

prog -opt arg

even though it looked like the latter, it behaved more like the former two, though, in reality, it was like none of them.)

It just happened again while piping to sort and zsh reported that it did not recognize the command sort, because it looked like " sort" to the shell. Has no one else using zsh 3.0.8 experienced this? I think it happens while I am editing the command line, but what causes it escapes me.
