characters
So far you’ve typed letters, numbers, and punctuation marks, but
with the screen editor you may type many graphic characters as
well. To generate these graphic characters, the screen editor must be
in upper case mode, and you must use the
q
key (located in the
lower right corner of the HX-20 keyboard).
For example, hold down the
q
key, and (while holding it
down) press the q key. Instead of seeing a
“K”
or a “k” on the
screen, you’ll see a little musical note. Now hold down
q
and
press the letter “V”.
A tiny telephone appears.
q
/i puts a
small person on the screen.
q
/m yields a subcompact car.
Figure 5-2 shows the graphic characters available from the key-
board. There are 32 graphic characters in all.
