In this format n is the appropriate number from the list of interna-
tional character sets. In other words, the BASIC command to select
the French character set is:
LPRINT CHR$(27)"R"CHR$(1)
Another method of selecting most of the international character sets
is to reset a DIP switch. If you plan to use one of the first eight interna-
tional sets quite a bit, see Appendix A for instructions on using the
DIP switches.
Once you have selected a character set, whether you do it with the
ESCape code or the DIP switches, you will be able to print several new
characters. The character sets are shown in Tables 5-2, 5-3, and 5-4.
The number at the top of each column in the tables is the ASCII
code that prints the characters in that column.
