1.

Use quad ruled paper to design your character.

2. Number 8 consecutive rows like this:

1
2
4
8
16
32
64
128

3. Now design your character in dot form (see the

example below).

4. Add together all the numbers from the column on the

left, counting only where you have placed a dot in a
row. In our example, the first column has three dots
located in rows 4, 8, and 16. Added together they
equal 28.

5. Put your final total for each column into a data

statement in column order.

TTTTTO

The data statement in your program will read:
DATA 28, 34, 65, 65, 54, 34

The next step is to tell the printer your newly designed
character. To do this you must send a CHR$(19) followed
by the six numbers you computed above. Following is an
example of how this can be done.
