Using the Command Summary

For the following commands that use only 0 or 1 for the variable, either the decimal or hexadecimal values 1 and 0 or the ASCII characters 1 and 0 can be used:

ESC U, ESC x, ESC p, ESC W, ESC S, ESC -, ESC w, and ESC %

For example, in BASIC you can select draft mode with either of these statements:

LPRINT CHR$(27);'x":'CHR$(O)

LPRINT CHR$(27):"x":"O"

Control key chart

Some application programs can use control key codes for decimal values 0 through 27. The table below gives you the proper values. The Control Key column indicates that you press the control key at the same time you press the key for the letter or symbol in that column. For example, you press the control key and A at the same time to send the value 1.

Note: Many programs use the control keys for other purposes. Also, some programs do not use all these keys.
