Hi to all, One of the users of my computer center is trying to write a program in Applesoft BASIC and trying to use Spanish characters. When I set the GS to Display Spanish, I can get some of the special Spanish chars, but she needs the letters a,e,i,o,u with the quote above them going up to the right. Are they in the Spanish char set, and if so, where are they. Are they in the Alt Char set. I was checking that out a little, and I didn't see them anywhere. I have thought about Apple Mechanic, but I am looking for an easy way out for her. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance, ________________________________________________________________________ George A.

The option & Open-Apple keys don't work that way in Basic. Here is my question again, Doesn't Dave or Matt or someone know whether it can be done or not?

Piotrowski, Coordinator CREN/Bitnet: V2071A@TEMPLEVM Well, according to my Apple IIgs Hardware Refrence, it can't be done. :( You can gt the N with a ~ over it, the upside down ?, a lowercase n + ~, and a c with a dot under it (?!?) in the Spanish character set. In French, you can get an a + `, the c + ., e's with both ` & ', and a u + `. In Italian, you get all the characters of French, plus an o + ` and an i + `. That's the closest you're going to get. The other character sets have letters with two dots over them, but I don't remember using those in Spanish. You can do some exploring, though. The English characters #,@,[,\,],`,{,|,},~ are the ones replaced in ALL CHARACTER SETS. You might write a liittle BASIC program that printed these characters, then go to the control panel and step through the languages. Hope this has helped some! Jonah Stich

>You might write a little program that printed these programs.
I did that a couple of days ago, but I hesitated from posting it here,
thinking that someone else probably would. So, anyway, here's the program:
5 HOME
10 FOR X = 1024 TO 1279 REM 1279=1024 + 255
20 POKE X,X-1024
30 NEXT X
40 GOTO 40
This will display almost all of the characters that can be displayed.
Just go to the control panel and change the display language until you see
what you want (which isn't what you wanted in your last message).dlyons@Apple.COM (David A. Lyons) (08/10/90)

This is not good--it overwrites sixteen "screen hole" locations that are used by the system and peripheral cards. Try this instead: 10 HOME 20 FOR ROW = 1 TO 8 30 VTAB ROW 40 ADDR = PEEK(40) + 256*PEEK(41) : REM $28 on zero page=base addr for row 50 FOR COL = 0 TO 31 60 POKE ADDR+COL, 32*(ROW-1)+COL 70 NEXT COL 80 NEXT ROW 90 VTAB 10 -- David A.

>>10 FOR X = 1024 TO 1279 REM 1279 = 1024 + 255 > (Why don't you just say "10 FOR X = 1024 TO 1024+255 ??) That's what I was going to post at first, but I thought it would be better to stick it in a REM statement. -I- just thought it would make more sense. I didn't think it would be enough of an issue to even ask about. >This is no good--it overwrite sixteen "screen hole" locations that are >used by the system and peripheral cards. It serves its purpose and I am aware that it overwrites those. I was going to spend more time writing a program very similar to what you have, but, since it's a 'one time run deal', I didn't think it was worth the time or effort.

As long as you're *rebooting* right away, that's fine. Otherwise, don't trash screen holes--you could destroy data on your disks, if you got unlucky enough. -- David A.
