The standard indicator is the colon (:). When this character is found in the first position of a line in the input file, IHSPRINT assumes the next 3-6 characters represent a valid IHSPRINT control word (e.g. :dson, :eon, :eject). Under certain circumstances, you may want to temporarily change this indicator to another character. The :CWI control word is used to do this. For Example The single parameter (n) associated with this control word is the character which you now want to become the new IHSPRINT Control Word Indicator. It can be any valid ASCII character but care should be taken to insure that it is not a character which might accidentally appear in the first position of the text. :space 3 :font 2 :lpi 9 :ccoff :dson ╔═══════════════╣ SAMPLE TEXT ╠══════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ :cwi } Causes the } to be the indicator ║ ║ ║ ║ }con ║ ║ ║ ║ :It's always easy to see both sides of an issue║ ║ ║ ║ :we are not particularly concerned about. ║ ║ ║ ║ }coff ║ ║ ║ ║ }cwi : Changes indicator back to colon. ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ :eject :font 1 :lpi 9 ╔══════════════════════════════════╗ ║ IHSPRINT USER GUIDE 2-17 ║ ╚══════════════════════════════════╝ :space 3 ┌───────────────────┐ │ :DSON - :DSOFF │ └───────────────────┘ :font 0 :scale 1 :lpi 6 :space 2 :dsoff :ccon =:DSON= turns on the double strike mode of printing.
