Selecting character size.
GS ! n
The command is accessed by Ctrl ] (Alt029). This will give us the attention getter GS character is shown as
↔
. Follow up
with the function character ! (on key pad Alt 033)
Explanation of the changeable character n for the width and height
DecW Width DecH Height
0 1 0 1
16 2 1 2
32 3 2 3
48 4 3 4
64 5 4 5
80 6 5 6
96 7 6 7
112 8 7 8
In the Configuration Label there's a division called Character sets. In this set we see that the character size is 12 * 24 for
this label. Therefore the default value of n=0 (NUL)
If we would like the size of the character to be default, the size will be 1*1. If you would like the width to be 2 by a
height of 1 the value will be 16+0 which will give you 16. We add the Dec value of the width, with the Dec value of the
height to get the value for n. This value is a Dec value which is entered into the program by Ctrl+P+Alt+Dec value.
i.e.
↔
!(DecW+DecH)
↔
!(16+1)
↔
!( Ctrl+P+Alt+17)
↔

Examples:
Width Height DecW+DecH n value
3 4 32+3 35
2 2 16+1 17
8 8 112+7 119
1 1 0+0 0(NUL)

When you need to insert a 0 (NUL) value into your program we use the combination Ctrl-
Shift-2. For this reason we set the keyboard to United States style. The @ symbol on the
United States Keyboard is found with the 2 button. Please see the ASCII Chart for values on
characters.
☞
Please note that a NUL value will not be shown on the EDIT program but the cursor would
have moved one character. If you were to do a Hex Dump the Hex value will be 00.
