Thanks for the reply! Found I needed to use \letterbackslash\letterhash for this to work. Does that make sense? On Nov 30, 2011, at 10:37 AM, Aditya Mahajan wrote:
Try:

\stopasciimode
You can also use \framed[width=2.73in, foregroundstyle={\TitleFont\setupinterlinespace[38pt], align={flushleft, ....}]{The ....} instead of explicit \vbox.
