APPENDIX E

ASCII AND CHR$ CODES

NOTE: Follow this link for a lynx-friendly version.

This appendix shows you what characters will appear if you PRINT CHR$(X), for all possible values of X. It will also show the values obtained by typing PRINT ASC("x"), where x is any character that can be displayed. This is useful in evaluating the character received in a GET statement, converting upper to lower case, and printing character based commands (like switch to upper/lower case) that could not be enclosed in quotes.
