I wonder which computer needed the 14, back then, when standards were plentiful and different. Ah, AI claims: "In 1980s BASIC for Commodore computers like the Commodore 64 and VIC-20, CHR$(14) was a control code used to switch the computer's display to the lowercase/uppercase character set. This is part of the proprietary character encoding system called PETSCII, not the standard ASCII.” Since I had moved from a VIC-20, maybe that was me thinking I had to do that to make Commodore callers see the lowercase menus? — A -- Coco mailing list [email protected] https://pairlist5.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/coco
