In this program, you can use any number you calculate by using the
formula above, but remember that emphasized can't combine with
compressed or elite. If you try to combine emphasized with either of
the two narrow pitches, you won't harm your printer; it will simply
use a priority list in its memory to determine which mode to use. The
list below shows the results of trying to combine emphasized with
either or both of these modes.
Emphasized + compressed
Emphasized + elite
Emphasized + compressed + elite
Master Select is a powerful code that gives you an easy way
to produce multiple combinations with a single command. To see
double-strike emphasized underlined printing, for example, you
need only one ESCape code instead of three.
Indeed, Master Select is such a powerful feature that it may occa-
sionally be more powerful than you want it to be. Because it controls
seven different modes, a Master Select code will cancel any of those
seven that are not selected. For example, suppose that you have a page
in elite and want part of it in double-strike. If you use ESCape "!" 16 to
turn on double-strike, your LX-90 will begin printing in double-strike
pica instead of double-strike elite because the 16 code does not include
elite. Use 17 for double-strike elite.

Superscript and Subscript

Your LX-90 can also print superscripts and subscripts, which you
can use for mathematical formulas, footnotes, and other items that
require numbers or letters above or below the usual print line. ESCape
"SO" turns on superscript and ESCape "S1" turns on subscript. ESCape
"T" turns off either one. You can see them in action with the program
below:
5
PRINT CHR$(4);"PR#l"
10 PRINT "The formula for water is H";
20 PRINT CHR$(27);"S1";"2";CHR$(27);"T";
30
PRINT "0."
