The Ultra Machine

How about combining some of these commands to give us the ultra in high

quality dot-matrix printing? Let's put the Printer in both the wallbanger and

5 L P R I N T

C H R $ ( 2 7 ) " G "

1 0 L P R I N T

C H R $ ( 2 7 ) " E "

2 0 L P R I N T

"PUT ON YOUR HELMET AND GOGGLES"

3 0 L P R I N T

and RUN.
