The superscript and subscript feature prints characters at half their
normal height. Superscript prints its characters in the top half of the
line, and subscript prints
on the bottom half of the line. The width
of the "script" characters matches whatever pitch is in effect. Script
characters can be used
with all of the MPS 1200's features except
reverse print.
The script command is ESC S. It uses 0 and 1 differently from the
other commands we've looked at. Sending ESC SO turns on super-
script; sending
ESC Sl turns on subscript. ESC T (for text) turns
off either mode and returns to normal (full-height) characters.
The following program shows how the script command works:
