Now run the program. For each of the nine columns, the program

asks for the numbers of the rows in which you want dots to appear.
Enter the row numbers one at a time, pressing the 

key after

each one. When you have entered all the numbers for a column or

when you want no dots in a column, press 

without a num-

ber. Remember that the vertical lines in the grid are the even-num-

bered columns.

To see Program 1 produce the character in Figure 7-4, run the pro-

gram and follow these instructions: When the screen message asks

what rows have dots in the column 1, respond with

indicate that no dots go in that column. For column 2 (the vertical

line), press

again to indicate that you

want dots in rows 7 and 5. Then press

no more dots go in column 2. For column 3 press 8, 6, 4, and 2, with

an

to finish with

column 3 and go on to column 4.

For column 

press

assume that you 

to press 

after each number and one

extra time to end the entries for each column.) For column 5, enter 6,

4,3,2, and 

For column 6, press 

only; for column 7 enter

8, 6, 4, and 2; for column 8 enter 7 and 5; and for column 9 press

Now wait a moment for your computer to calculate the dot pat-

terns and 

LX-90 to print the new character in two different type-

styles. Your printout also gives you nine numbers, which you will use

in the next program. You should get the printout you see below:

YOUR CHARACTER IN PICA:    

IN EXPANDED EMPHASIZED PICA:                    

170

0

4 7

0

170

8 0

0

When you get to this point with a character of your own, you see

how it looks and whether or not you like it. If you want to make any

changes, move the dots on the grid as needed and rerun the program.

If you want to put dots in the bottom row, change the number in

line 190 from 128 to 0. Then the usable rows will be as shown in Figure

7-5.
