The command above copies the characters from the selected character set with <n>, as shown below, into the download RAM area. cNUL> is the ASCII character OOh. This command is only valid if “DOWNWARD” has been selected in the RAM USAGE menu of the Memory Switch (see Chapter 3 for details). All characters from 20h to FFh are copied. Regardless of the character set, the characters 80h to 9Fh are copied. However, the block characters of the IBM character set (BOh through DFh, F4h and F5h) are copied as space characters.
