There are two ways to tum on the single-line Expanded print fea-
ture. With CHR$(14) (or optionally with (ESC)CHR$(14)), it turns
off after each print line. If you want Expanded Mode to stay on line
after line, you must use (ESC) "W" followed by CHR$(I).
Most modes on the FX-80 stay on continuously, and so your pro-
gram must tum each mode off when you are finished with it. The few
exceptions to this rule will be noted as they come up.
Those whose computers have difficulty sending a CHR$(O) or
CHR$(I) should note that the FX-80 will also accept CHR$(27)"Wl"
and CHR$(27)"WO" to tum Expanded Mode on and off. In fact, all
FX-80 modes that use CHR$(I) and CHR$(O) to tum modes on and off
will also accept "1" and "0". This shorter form is used in the next
program.
