Demonstration of EXPANDED printing.
Notice that EXPANDED mode
automatically turns off at the end of a line.
Expanded print set with CHR$(14) is automatically cancelled
at the end of the line. This is convenient in many applications,
such as for one line titles. Note that you didn’t need to put an
(ESC) in front of the CHR$(14), although (ESC) CHR$(14)
works just the same.
You can also cancel one line expanded print before a carriage
return with CHR$(20), as done in line 50.
Sometimes you may wish to stay in expanded print for more
than one line. Change your program to this:
10
Demo of permanent expanded mode
20 LPRINT CHR$(27) ;“Wl”;
30 LPRINT “Permanent expanded”
40 LPRINT “mode stays on until”
50 LPRINT “it is “;
60 LPRINT CHR$ (27) ; “WO” ;
70 LPRINT “turned off.”
Now the results look like this:
Permanent expanded
mode stays on
until
it is
turned off.
When you turn on expanded print with (ESC) “W”1 it stays
on until you turn it off with (ESC) “W”0.
