Carriage Return Without Line Feed

In Commodore mode (DIP switch 1-3 OFF), sending chr$(141)
causes the
printer to perform a carriage return without a line feed to
move down to the next line. The following programs show how
this can be used for such effects as doubleprinting and underlining
in Commodore mode.

A Note About BASIC
The MPS 1200 normally starts a new line with each PRINT# statement
because BASIC sends
an end-of-line code for you automatically. In
Commodore BASIC, no semicolon
at the end of PRINT# statement
causes the printer to perform a carriage return. Some commercial software
sends both a carriage return and a line
feed at the end of each line.
