Line 20 turns on double-strike with (ESC) "G" and line 30
prints a line of text. In line 40 emphasized is turned on with
(ESC) "E". Line 50 prints a line of text in double-strike and
emphasized. Line 60 then turns double-strike off with ( ESC ) "H"
so that line 70 can print in emphasized only. Finally, line 80 turns
emphasized off, so that Radix is set for normal printing.

Look closely at the different lines of printing. In the line of
double-strike printing each character has been printed twice, and
they are moved down just slightly the second time they are
printed. In emphasized printing, they are moved slightly to the
right the second time Radix prints. The last line combined both of
these so that each character was printed 4 times. Now that's pretty
nice printing, isn't it?

Mixing Modes
We have learned how to use Radix's many different printing
modes individually. Now let's see how we can combine these
modes for even more printing effects. Condensed, italic, double-
strike, underlined subscripts are something that you are probably
just itching to print!
There are 336 "theoretical" combinations of the modes that
we have learned. Of these, a mere 114 will work! (Some combina-
tions, like expanded superscripts, just don't work.) Instead of try-
ing to list all the combinations that work, we have a program that
prints a chart showing all the combinations. There is a sample of
each of the 114 possible combinations on the chart. (The dots just
indicate the few combinations that don't work.) Enter the follow-
ing program and run it to make your own chart.
