To print an accent mark over a vowel in an AppleWorks word processor
document, you can backspace and print an accent.
Or you can use the command
e<superscript>'<normal>
You must, however, turn on superscripting with command sequences you define
in the custom driver.
With ImageWriter, you can use the following sequence of characters to turn on
superscripting:
CTRL-H ESCAPE ESCAPE l1 ESCAPE T12 ESCAPE r CTRL-_ 1
(N.B. ESCAPE l1 is ESCAPE, lower case L, numeric one)
The characters needed to end superscripting are:
ESCAPE T09 ESCAPE f CTRL-_ 1 ESCAPE A ESCAPE l0
(N.B. T09 and 10 have numeric zero)
ESCAPE T09 compensates for the "printer slop" that the tractor feed causes
when a reverse linefeeds occurs. If you are using friction feed, these codes
are not necessary and may be removed.
If you are using an ImageWriter II, then the superscripting control codes are
easier:
CTRL-H ESCAPE ESCAPE x
To end superscripting, use:
ESCAPE z
Character sets available on the Apple IIGS and ImageWriter may be of some
help. For instance, Italian has an accented 'e'. Check the ImageWriter II
manual, Appendix C, for a list of the characters in the character sets.
One of the options in the Apple IIGS is the ability to change the characters
set of the display and the keyboard layout. By entering the control panel,
and selecting "Display: Spanish", you will be able to display certain Spanish
characters that print properly when sent to an ImageWriter in Spanish mode.
