Demonstration		of	EXPANDED	printing.
Notice	that	EXPANDED		mode
automatically		turns	off at	the end of a line.

Expanded printset with CHR$(14) is automatically cancelled at the end of the line. This is convenient in many applications, such as for one line titles. Note that you didn’t need to put an (ESC) in front of the CHR$(14), although (ESC) CHR$(14) works just the same.

You can also cancel one line expanded print before a carriage return with CHR$(20), as done in line 50.

Sometimes you may wish to stay in expanded print for more than one line. Change your program to this:

10’ Demo of permanent expanded mode

20 LPRINT CHR$(27) ;“Wl”;

30 LPRINT “Permanent expanded”

40 LPRINT “mode stays on until”

50 LPRINT “it is “;

60 LPRINT CHR$(27) ; “WO”;

70LPRINT “turned off.”

Now the results look like this:

Permanentexpanded

modestayson until

it is turned off.

When you turn on expanded print with (ESC) “W”1 it stays on until you turn it off with (ESC) “W”0.
