The ability to insert ASCII characters between 128 and 255 into MATLAB is not available in MATLAB 6.5 (R13).
To work around this issue, it is necessary to set the $LANG environmental variable to specify an 8-bit character set. For example, use the following C shell command:
setenv LANG c
This allows the use of ASCII characters between 128 and 255.
