The preferred method of sending control codes to the Atari 825
is via the CHR$ function. If a program is listed conta inin g control
codes specified by the CHR$ function, the listing of that program
will not affect the printer. However , if a program containing
control characters surrounded by quotation marks is listed,
those
contro l characters wil l be heeded by the Atari 825, and the
program listing wil l be affected accordingly.
