character in the currently active code page with the Euro character. The character to
be replaced is defined by <n>. For example, if the currently active character set is CP
850 (multi-lingual) and 0D5H character is to be the Euro character, “1BH 5BH 43H
0D5H” replaces the character at 0D5H with the Euro symbol. This command is only
valid in ASCII mode when code pages are active.
Note: This command is effective only in ASCII mode.
