Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I thought it was talked about once before, but I can't find a discussion.

Is there (or could there be) a way to insert extended ascii characters into the current cursor position of the editor?

No: the only way to include extended characters into a program is to use CHR$(x) as part of a string definition. Characters over 127 would overlap with things like arrow and function key codes so it simply isn't do-able
