That’s where the italic international characters have been stored. So the (ESC) “6” command without the (ESC) “R” gives you access to the international characters. The (ESC) “7” turns these characters back into control codes.

The low-order control codes can also be defined, but not all of ‘them can be printed easily. The (ESC) “I” 1 command makes them printable, and the (ESC) “I” Oreturns them to normal.

Just as the higher control codes hide the italic international characters, the lower control codes hide the reman international characters.

Let’s see how these commands work with the following pro- gram:

10 ‘ Demo of characters in t i~e control code ared 2-0 LPRINT CHR$(27) ; “I 1“ ;

30FOR I =0 TO 6

40LPRINT CHR.$(I ) ;

50NEXT I

60LPRINT CHR$(16) ;CHR$(17) :

70FOR 1=21 TO 31

80LPRINT CHR$(l ) ;

90NEXT I 100 LPRINT

110 FOR 1=128 TO 134

.120 LPRINT CHR$(I ) ;

130 NEXT I

140 LPRINT CHR$(144) ;CHR$(145) ;

1.50FOR 1=149 TO 159

160LPRINT CHR$(I ) ;

170NEXT I

180LPRINT CHR$(27) ; “IO”
