CONFIGURE LABEL

Defines characters for the LABEL statement.
 
 CONFIGURE LABEL first-char TO string-expression
CONFIGURE LABEL first-char TO string-name$(*)
 
Where:
first-char = numeric-expression rounded to an integer.
 
Usage:
CONFIGURE LABEL 128 TO CHR$(128)&CHR$(112)&CHR$(127)&CHR$(15)&CHR$(0)
CONFIGURE LABEL 191 TO Newchars$(*)
 
Example:      CONFIGURE LABEL.BAS
 
Description:
CONFIGURE LABEL defines additional characters for use with the LABEL statement. You may define one character by giving a simple string or string expression or several characters by giving a string array. The first-char value specifies the first character to define. Characters in the range 33 to 255 may be defined. To delete a definition, use a zero length string for the definition. See the Users Guide for a complete explanation of how to use this feature. Each character in the definition string has the form CHR$(Move + x*16 + y), where Move is 0 or 128, x ranges from 0 (far left) to 7 and y ranges from 0 (bottom) to 15. The baseline is y=5. The following example defines the character "H":
 
CONFIGURE LABEL 72 TO CHR$(133)&CHR$(14)&CHR$(238)&
CHR$(101)&CHR$(138)&CHR$(106)
