Lower case letters are converted to upper case letters
for storage in memory. Other characters are available
in a programmable format. If the lower case letters
are regarded as strings (literal data), they are stored
as they are. Usable characters correspond to the
internal codes of Sanyo MBC-550 series computers and
are displayed on the screen. However, the amount of
useable characters that will be accepted by a printer
is less. For printing out programs, we suggest
determining the range of printable characters by the
printer and using only those in the program.
A character is written into the program by depressing
the corresponding key on the keyboard. Special
