One limitation of most operating system character set support is that it does not contain vector definitions of the characters for the LABEL statement. Also, like HP BASIC, the HTBasic LABEL statement does not support all the international language characters above CHR$(127). But unlike HP BASIC, HTBasic has been enhanced to allow the user to define his own characters, or delete existing characters. The characters that are defined by default are:
Char
Latin-1
PC 850
Roman-8

When run in Japanese mode, HTBasic allows the user to load a Japanese character set for use with the LABEL command. This is not done by default because of its memory requirements; the Japanese character set contains several thousand characters.
