When the ESC column contains a dash, you use only CHR$(n) but when ESC is written in this ESC column, you must precede the CHR$(n) with CHR$(27). With this ESCape sequence you may use a shortened form, the ESCape code followed by the character in the symbol column in quotation marks, as shown in the example below, the command that turns Emphasized ON: LPRINT CHR$(27) "E" .
