that are used in different countries. These international characters can
be accessed with:
LPRINT CHR$(27)"R"CHR$(n);
where n is a number from zero to eight. The ESCape “R” sequence
selects one of these nine countries:
0
USA
3
United Kingdom 6
Italy
1
France 4
Denmark
7
Spain
2
Germany 5
Sweden
8 Japan
Once you have selected a country, you can use its special characters.
Choosing a new international character set, however, does not give
you a completely new set of 256 characters. There are 64 international
characters stored in the ROM, 32 in Roman and 32 in Italic typeface,
and of these you can only use
12
characters at a time. Each set of
12
is
stored as the following ASCII numbers:
35, 36, 64, 91, 92, 93, 94, 96, 123, 124, 125, 126
The next program selects each of the international character sets in
turn. When you RUN it, the printout (shown here as Table
6-2)
dis-
plays the special symbols of each set (if you have problems, consult
Appendix F).

There are a few items in the program that haven’t been covered yet;
we’ll cover them later. The important thing now is to understand how
you can use the CHR$(27)“R” to gain access to the international
characters.
