Radix User's Manual
Redefining your own print control keys
The ASCII codes to redefine the print control keys (Edit Font
Sequences) are pretty straight forward. There are individual
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 K 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 high-
lights, underlines and shows reverse image characters. You can-
not 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.
Using Radix with Pea&Text
(Note: If you have not read the "General Concepts" section at the
beginning of this chapter, you should do so before continuing.)
Radix can be used with PeachText for a wide range of
different print functions. Radix automatically supports many of
the standard printing capabilities as well as the method of sending
special codes to use all of its printing features. As a result, you can
really customize the final look of your documents.
With Radix, you can perform all the following print functions
without making any special changes to your PeachText program.
1. Print documents from the Text Edit screen.
2. Print documents from the Print Status screen.
3. Use print commands and recognition characters in your docu-
ment.
4. Select and print variable information for merge letters, etc.
All of these functions are fully described in the PeachText
User's Manual and will not be discussed in this chapter. You
should refer to the manual if you need help in successfully per-
forming any of these functions.
With the print capabilities described above, however, some
individual functions will not work without using special codes.
They include changing lines per inch and characters per inch,
