As the comments in the program listing show this will define
a macro that will reset all the print style functions. SG-lo/15
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
thirteen.
Now that you have defined a macro, let's see how to use it.
This program will print one line using several printing style
features. Then it "calls" the macro in line 60. When line 70 prints
the style is "plain vanilla" because the macro has reset it.

10 LPRINT CHR$(27) "-1"; ' UNDERLINE
20 LPRINT CHR$(27) "G"; ' DOUBLE- STRIKE
30 LPRINT CHR$(27) "Wl"; ' EXPANDED
40 LPRINT "TESTING ONE, TWO, THREE"
50 LPRINT CHR$(27) "!"; ' USE THE MACRO
60 LPRINT "TESTING FOUR, FIVE, SIX"
If you are using with the IBM mode, change the line 50 as shown
below.
50 LPRINT CHR$(27) "?";
