following character sets and then use the individual characters within
that set.

You select the character set in one of two ways: with an ESCape
code or with a DIP switch. The ESCape code in BASIC has the follow-
ing format:
PRINT CHR$(27);"R";CHR$(n)
in which n represents the appropriate number from the list above. In
other words, the BASIC command to select the French character set is
PRINT CHR$(27);"R";CHR$(1)
The other method of selecting an international character set is to
reset a DIP switch. If you plan to use one of the international sets quite
a bit, see Appendix D for instructions for 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
