How do you mean "view" them? Simple answer is to move your cursor to
a character (including whitespace characters) and hit "C-x="
(what-cursor-position) and Emacs will tell you what the character is
(including in ASCII). More complex answer is to install Vinicius Jose
Latorre's `blank-mode' and/or `ascii' which can be found at:

Hm.. seems to be missing from there.
I'd be glad to send you a copy if you'd like.

Excellent, that was exactly what I wanted. A real boon when you're having
strange syntax errors in
a python script (python is whitespace sensitive).
