Try out the left margin command with:
NEW
10 LPRINT "LEFT MARGIN"
20 LPRINT CHR$(27)"1"CHR$(10)
30 LPRINT "LEFT MARGIN SET AT 10"
40 LPRINT
As Figure

9-1
and line 30 makes the new left margin start
default.
You may have noticed that we did not have you reset the left margin
to zero at the end of the program. To see if the new margin is still in
effect, type your computer's LLIST command. Does your printout
page now look like Figure 9-2?
The left margin is still set at
until it is reset by some software code or until the printer is turned off.
