filename HNDLGO.FOM. For example:
Enter Format

2. Input the Special Function Control Character and Logo mode command
to put the IGP/PGL in the Create Logo mode. Include HAND as the
logo name; specify a vertical length (VL) of 56 (column length) and a
horizontal length (HL) of 60 (row length).
Enter Format

3. Enter each row of dot positions as tabulated from the grid and shown in
Figure 6–10. The format is Row;Column (for example,

dot positions are entered, terminate the Create Logo mode by entering
an End command line.
