Screen Editor ModesGraphic characters

So far you’ve typed letters, numbers, and punctuation marks, but with the screen editor you may type many graphic characters as well. To generate these graphic characters, the screen editor must be in upper case mode, and you must use the q key (located in the lower right corner of the HX-20 keyboard).

For example, hold down the q key, and (while holding it down) press the q key. Instead of seeing a “K” or a “k” on the screen, you’ll see a little musical note. Now hold down q and press the letter “V”. A tiny telephone appears. q /i puts a small person on the screen. q /m yields a subcompact car.

Figure 5-2 shows the graphic characters available from the key- board. There are 32 graphic characters in all.
