    Codes 224-250/ are lower case letters.  Codes 0/0/0/-127 are similar
    to codes 128-255 except that the parity bit has been eliminated.
    Many keyboards use 'Shift/K/L/M/N/O' for '[','\',']','^' and '<-'
    A single quote before a character indicates the-value-of: 'A=193
    Use 'Ctrl/@' to page the TV display to avoid getting error 12.40

    To erase the screen on a Tektronix terminal: S FOUT(27) FOUT(12)
    To make a copy: S FOUT(27) FOUT(23).  Note:  FOUT(27) = 'ESCAPE'
    To make bold letters on a Centronics printer: T :FOUT(14) "text"
    To set 'Hold Screen' mode (VT50/ terminals):  S FOUT(27) FOUT(91)
    To rubout the last character on the PDP12/LAB8e display FOUT(92)
