Creating Your Own Characters
85
printout test includes the characters with ASCII values from 160
to 254, but nothing prints. The (ESC) “*” CHR$(O) command
copies only the standard ASCII characters (those in the range of
33 to 126) to download RAM; it does not copy any block graphics
characters.

Figure T-12. Printout of the download character set, into which all the standard
characters have been copied, and the C, D, H, and S have been changed.
To demonstrate how to use these characters, let’s use this
character set to print a typical bridge hand. This program will do
just that:
