but before you print the user-defined E, make it more visible by
adding:
170 LPRINT CHR$(27)"!8";
190
LPRINT CHR$(27)"!@"
Line 170 uses the Master Select code to print Double-Strike,
Expanded, Emphasized Pica characters. Line 190 uses the Master
Select to return to Pica Mode.
Here are the lines you’ve typed so far:
120 LPRINT CHR$(27)"%"CHR$(1)CHR$(0);
130
LPRINT CHR$(27)"&"CHR$(0)"EE";
140
LPRINT CHR$(139);
150
FOR X=1 TO 11: READ C: LPRINT CHR$(C);: NEXT X
170 LPRINT CHR$(27)"!8";
180 LPRINT "EEEEE";
190 LPRINT CHR$(27)"!@"
200 LPRINT CHR$(27)"@": END
1170 DATA 62,65,8,65,8,65,28,65,34,0,0: 'My E
Let’s see what it looks like in Proportional Mode (without the last two
columns printed). Add:
140
LPRINT CHR$(137);
175 LPRINT CHR$(27)"p1";
See how the Es are packed closely together? Fine. Before proceeding,
change back to monospacing by deleting line 175 and changing 140:
140 LPRINT CHR$(139);
While you are in the neighborhood, take a look at some of the other
characters in RAM with:
180 LPRINT "EPSON"
Oops! Where is the rest of EPSON? All right, we confess-the only
characters in the user-defined RAM are those you put there yourself.
Characters that haven’t been defined print as blank spaces. So the
206
