Creating Your Own
Characters
131
The first line tells the ASCII code of the character being edited
(and in parentheses, the normal character for that code). The next
field in the first line tells whether the character being edited is a
descender or not (a "1" indicates that it is;
"0"
means that it is not).
The second status line shows the proportional width of the
character being defined. The asterisks extend over the columns of
dots to indicate the actual width when the character is printed
using the (ESC) "X" command.
Below the layout grid is the prompt line. This will appear only
when you need to enter information, such as the ASCII code of
the character you wish to define.
To the right of the layout grid is the command menu. All of the
valid commands are defined here; if you press any other key, the
computer will beep and no action will be taken. Below, each com-
mand is defined in greater detail.
P - Print the character. This command takes the character that is
currently on the screen and prints it in condensed, elite, pica,
expanded pica, and proportional widths so you can see how
it looks. In addition, it prints the complete character set in
both normal and proportional widths. At the end of the print-
out is the data statement necessary to download this charac-
ter through a BASIC program.
