Demonstration
of
EXPANDED
printing.
Notice
that
EXPANDED
mode
automatically
turns
off
at
the
end
of
a line.
Expanded print set with CHR$(14) is automatically
cancelled
at the end of the line. This is convenient
in many applications,
such as for one line titles. Note that you didn't need to put an
(ESC) in front of the CHR$(14), although
(ESC)
CHR$(14)
works just the same.
You can also cancel one line expanded print before a carriage
return with CHR$(20), as done in line 50.
Sometimes
you may wish to stay in expanded
print for more
than one line. Change your program to this:
10 ' Demo of permanent expanded mode
20 LPRINT CHR$(27) ;"Wl";
30 LPRINT "Permanent
expanded"
40 LPRINT "mode stays
on
until"
50 LPRINT "it
is ";
60 LPRINT CHR$ (27) ; "WO" ;
70 LPRINT "turned
off."
Now the results look like this:
Permanent
expanded
mode
stays
on
until
it
is
turned
off.
When you turn on expanded print with (ESC) "W"1 it stays
on until you turn it off with (ESC) "W"0.
