DEFINITION

As the comments in the program listing show this will define
a macro that will reset all the print style functions. Delta will
remember this macro until the power is turned off or until a new
macro is defined. A macro can hold up to 16 bytes (characters) of
information, The one that we defined contains fifteen.
Now that you have defined a macro, let's see how to use it.
This program will print one line using several printing style fea-
tures. Then it "calls" the macro in line 50. When line 60 prints the
style is "plain vanilla" because the macro has reset it.
10 LPRINT CHR$(27)
"4"; ' ITALIC
20 LPRINT CHR$(27) "G";
' DOUBLE-STRIKE
30
LPRINT CHR$(27) "W" CHR$(l); ' EXPANDED
40 LPRINT "TESTING ONE, TWO, THREE"
50 LPRINT CHR$(27) "!";
' USE THE MACRO
60 LPRINT "TESTING FOUR, FIVE, SIX"

In this chapter we have learned many different commands
that have many different uses. In the next chapter we will make up
for this diversity-the whole chapter only covers three com-
mands! But they are some of the most powerful that Delta offers.
They give you the ability to create your own characters.
