after the script command. Try this to see them both:

LPRINT
CHR$(27)"S~"j"SUPERSCRIPT";
3~ LPRINT CHR$(27)"T AND";
4~
LPRINT CHR$(27)"Sl"j" SUBSCRIPT"
5~ LPRINT CHR$(27) "TCAN EVEN GO ON THE SAME LINE"

AND
8U~8CRrpT
CAN EVEN GO ON THE SAME LINE
Notice that (ESC) "T" turns the Script Modes off, and also that both
Script Modes are automatically printed with Double-Strike print.
(That means that they can't be combined with Proportional print.) If
Double-Strike was the current mode before the printer entered a
Script Mode, the printer returns to Double-Strike Mode. If not, the
printer returns to Single-Strike.
Italic Mode
This is the last of the print modes that affect print quality. Italic
characters are printed in a completely different typeface than are the
more usual roman characters. Appendix B shows the dot-matrix pat-
terns used to define the italic characters, along with their correspond-
ing ASCII numbers.
Even if your computer cannot send codes greater than 128 to the
printer, you can still print italic characters. Add:
l~
LPRINT CHR$(27)"4"
6~ LPRINT CHR$(27)"@"
CAN EVEN GO ON THE SANE LINE
Italic Mode mixes just fine with Underline and with Super- and Sub-
script Modes.
In
fact, all four of these modes can be mixed and
matched at will-with the lone exception that Super- and Subscript
cannot be used simultaneously.
Add Underline to your current program with:
l~
LPRINT CHR$(27)"4"CHR$(27)"-1"
