3.2 DESCRIPTIONS ________________
Each character in Figure 3.1 is described in this Section. In
addition to its definition, the literal representation is
explained. The Special Character Code (see Section 4.6) is
indicated in brackets "[", "]".
CHAR NAME AND EXPLANATION ____ _________________________________________________________
BSP backspace character (default -- see Section 2.2)
DEFINITION: Entered via the backspace key on an
upper/lower case terminal, or control-h
on an upper-case only terminal.
LITERAL: The backspace character is always used
as a literal character, though it may
not be entered as the only text in an
INSERT command or input line. Leading
backspaces are ignored in an input line.
Backspaces are usually used to achieve
overstruck characters during FULLPRINT,
and should normally be entered in this
context (see Section 4.6 for a more
complete discussion of overstruck
characters). [!22]
_ blank fill (underscore)
DEFINITION: If the Key delimiter in a FRESS command
is a blank, all underscores are
interpreted as literal blanks.
LITERAL: A non-blank Key delimiter must be used.
[!109]
% capitalize character ("percent" sign)
DEFINITION: In a <text> parameter (SUBSTITUTE,
INSERT, MLABEL second parameters) or in
lines of Input Mode, it causes the next
character to be capitalized; it is
ignored if next character is
non-alphabetic.
LITERAL: !/ [!63]
