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"

1 2 ... 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 ... 267 268
