CHR$(l) can use an alternative form for this pair. For continuous
Expanded, and for the other modes which use CHR$(l) and CHR$(0)
as a toggle switch, you can use an abbreviation. Here, for example,
you can use:
LPRINT CHR$(27)"W"CHR$(l)
or you can use:
LPRINT CHR$(27)"Wl"
for the same result.
Expanded Mode works equally well with any of the three basic
pitches. Type and RUN this program:
NEW
10 LPRINT "YOU CAN PRINT EXPANDED:"
20 LPRINT CHR$(27)"WlPICA"
30 LPRINT CHR$(15)"COMPRESSED"
40 LPRINT CHR$(27)"MAND ELITE"
50 LPRINT CHR$(27)"@CHARACTERS"
YOU CAN PRINT EXPANDED:
PICA
COMPRESSED
AND ELITE
CHARACTERS
Most of the FX modes stay on continuously, and so your program
must turn off each mode when you are finished with it. We tell you
about the few exceptions to this rule-such as the CHR$(14) version
of Expanded-as they come up.
Multiple print pitches on one line
Suppose that you want to emphasize just one word within a line by
printing it in a different pitch. The following program shows how it
can be done:
10 LPRINT "YOU CAN MIX:
20 LPRINT "PICA
30 LPRINT CHR$(14)"EXPANDED,"
40 LPRINT CHR$(20)CHR$(15)"
COMPRESSED":
50 LPRINT CHR$(14)
EXPANDED,";
60 LPRINT CHR$(27)"M AND ELITE
70 LPRINT CHR$(14)"EXPANDED"
80 LPRINT CHR$(27)"@CHARACTERS ON THE SAME LINE"
