Atari 600XL

There are 29 graphics
characters built into the
computer keyboard for
occasions when you want
to brighten up a dull
chart, design an eye-
catching graph, create a
work of computer art, or
even do a little video
doodling. Advanced
users may find many ap-
plications for the char-
acters while program-
ming.
You can display
graphic characters on the
TV screen by pressing
CONTROL and the keys
shown below. If you want
to produce a number of
graphics characters, get
into the CONTROL LOCK·
mode by pressing CON-
TROL and CAPS. Get out
of the CONTROL LOCK
mode by pressing CAPS
only for lower case char-
acters or SHIFT CAPS for
upper case characters.
When switching from
the international char-
acter mode, use the fol-
lowing poke in BASIC:
POKE 756, 224 [Press
RETURN.]
Then press CONTROL
and the keys shown be-
low to display graphic
characters on the TV
screen.
