n Redefining your own print control keys
The ASCII codes to redetine the print control keys (Edit
Font Sequences) are pretty straightforward.
There are indi-
vidual ASCII decimal values to turn on and off different prints.
You want to affect that aspect but not the print pitch itself.
Leave that for your document
ruler line. Remember,
all the
codes can be found in Appendix C of this manual.
Also, keep in mind that print control keys can be combined
in your document
such as boldface and underline. EasyWriter
II uses three methods
of highlighting
on the display screen.
It highlights, underlines and displays reverse video characters.
You cannot combine print control functions that use the same
method of highlighting.
For example, in our definitions,
underline
and expanded
prints
are both
displayed
as underlined
on the screen.
Whichever function you use last will cancel out any previous
modes.
