Prints the next character from the G3 character map selected with control sequence ESC +. n specifies the character to print. The value of n must be from 0 to 127. G3 does not need to be currently active (that is, mapped into the lower or upper data bytes) to use this command.

Both commands perform the same function. SS3 is valid only if "8 Bit DEC" has been set in the configuration menu and if the C1 control codes have been enabled using ESC SP 7.

This command is valid for printing one character only. To print continuously from the G3 character map, use control code ESC o or ESC to map G3 into the lower or upper data bytes, respectively, making that character map active for printing.

The following prints the character £ from the U.K. character set.

Example

LPRINT CHR$(27);"+A";

LPRINT CHR$(27);"O";

LPRINT "#";
