n Backspace,
delete, and cancel text
Backspace (CHR$@)) "backs up" the printhead so that you
can print two characters right on top of each other. Each time
your printer receives a backspace it moves the printhead one
character to the left, instead of to the right. You can St&e over
multiple letters by sending more than one backspace code.
Delete (CHR$(127)) also "backs up" one character, but then it
"erases" the previous character (it's erased from your printer's
buffer, not from the paper).
Cancel text (CHR$(24)) deletes all the text in the print buffer;
that is, in the line before the delete text command. Since your
printer prints one line of text at a time, only that line will be
deleted.
The following program shows how these codes works.
