2. For column 2 (the vertical line) press 7,
Enter,

to indicate that you want dots in rows 7 and 5. Then press Enter

3. For column 3 press 8, 6, 4, and 2, and Enter after each of them.
Press Enter to finish with column 3 and go on to column 4.
4. For column 4 press Enter only (The.
rest of the directions assume
that you know to press Enter after each number and one extra
time to end the entries for each column.)

6. For column 6 press
Enter
only.

and your LX-800 to print the new character in two different typestyles.
Your printout also gives you nine numbers, which you use in the next

When you get to this point with a character of your own, you see
how it looks. If you want to make any changes, move the dots as
needed and re-run the program.
If you want to put dots in the bottom row, change the number in
line 190 from 128 to 0. Then the usable rows are those shown in Figure
5-4
below.
