As shown in Figure 6-5, the underline mode is continuous, but
some word processing and other applications programs produce an
underline that leaves spaces between characters as demonstrated in the
printout below.
If your software prints this type of underline, it is using the
LX-80's underline character (ASCII 95), not the underline mode.
Because the underline character is only five dots wide, it does not fill
the spaces between characters. If you prefer a continuous underline,
you may be able to use the underline mode through one of the
methods we discussed in Chapter 4.
Master Select
The LX-80 has a special ESCape code called Master Select that
allows you to choose any possible combination of eight different
modes: pica, elite, compressed, emphasized, double-strike, expanded,
italic, and underline. The format of the Master Select code is ESCape
"!" followed by a number that is calculated by adding together the
values of the modes listed below:
