nUnderlining and overlining

Not only can your printer print all styles of printing in both roman and italic, but it can underline and overline them too. The control codes are shown in Table 4-4.

		Table 4-4
	Underline	and overline	commands
Function		Control code
Underline	ON	(ESC) “-” 1
Underline	OFF	(ESC) “-” 0
Overline	ON	(ESC)	“A”	1
Overline	OFF	(ESC)	“-”	0

It’s that simple. Let’s try it with this program:

10 ’ Demo of underlining and over lining

20 LPRINT "Demo of ";

30 LPRINT CHR$(27);"-1";

40 LPRINT "UNDERLINED";

50 LPRINT CHR$(27);"-0";

60 LPRINT w and ";

70 LPRINT CHR$(27);" 1";

80 LPRINT "OVERLINED";

90 LPRINT CHR$(27);"-0";

100 LPRINT w printing."

It should come out like this:
