In this program underline is turned on in line 30 with (ESC)

“- ” 1, and then off in line 50 with (ESC) “ -” 0. The overline is turned on in line 70 with (ESC) “-” 1, and then off in line 90 with (ESC) “-” 0. There’s a new aspect to this program, though. The semicolons at the end of the lines told BASIC that those lines were to be continued. Therefore, BASIC didn’t send a carriage return and line feed at the end of those lines. We just did this to illustrate that all these control codes can be used in the middle of a line. It’s easy to underline, overline or italicize on- ly part of a line.

nSuperscripts and subscripts

Your printer can print in two different heights of characters. The smaller characters are called superscriptsand subscriptsand are half the height of normal characters. Superscriptsprint even- ly with the tops of regular printing while subscriptsprint evenly with the bottom of regular printing. They are frequently used to reference footnotes, and in mathematical formulas.

Table 4-5 has the codes for using superscripts and subscripts.
