The expanded printing command in the preceding program expands the
width of the characters but does not change their height. If you want extra
height there are two commands that will give it to you:
< 27 > < 119 >
<49> gives double height without changing the width; <27> < 104>
< n > gives double or quadruple height and width. Details can be found
in Appendix B.
