Figure 5-5. Character design grid for border characters

Here’s how the program works. Line 40 selects letter quality characters; this will be the attribute of the user-defined charac- ters. The data for the first character, which replaces the “=” sign, is sent in lines 140-170. The second character (“>“) is defined in program lines 190-220.

In lines 240-353, you test the new characters by printing them in three lines (individually and in combination).

Figure 5-6 shows the printout from this program.
