line.
Here line
30
turns on superscripts with (ESC) "S" CHR$(O).
It's turned off in line 50 with (ESC) "T". Then, between printing
text, subscripts are turned on in line 70 with (ESC) "S" CHR$(l),
and finally off in line 90. Again, everything prints on one line
because of the semicolons.
Changing the Print Pitch
In "printer talk," character width is called pitch. Normally,
Radix prints
10
characters per inch. This is called pica pitch
because it's the same spacing as a standard pica typewriter.
Radix can also print 12 characters per inch. This is called elite
pitch because it is the same spacing as an elite typewriter.
Condensed print is approximately 17 characters per inch.
