Reverse characters

[Mayhem]

I'm going through some listings to check if they are needed in GB20 and I've come across one listing with what appears to be reverse N and H characters in it (it shows the actual control characters, so reverse heart is clear screen of course). Any idea how I generate those?

I also presume these are shown inside a string. These are CTRL-N (switch to lower case), and CTRL-H (disable SHIFT-CBM), but CTRL doesn't work here. In that case, proceed as follows:

- enter a quote (SHIFT + 2) - this exits quote mode,
- delete that quote (DEL),
- reverse mode on (CTRL + RVS ON),
- type in the alphabetic key of the control character (here N, or H),
- reverse mode off (CTRL + RVS OFF),
- enter a quote (SHIFT + 2) to reenter quote mode,
- delete that quote - and continue with rest of string.

when you press the RETURN key, the reverse characters are correctly recognised as control chars. This also works with all the "standard" control chars, like {LEFT}, {YEL}, etc. ...

Greetings,

Cheers for that. The program listing is lacking lower case mode activation (it's still in upper case) and there's no CHR$ used either, so I was figuring one of them must be to put it in lower case mode. I'll have a go and try to correct this little oversight
