Type-Writing Code?

-----------------------------------

I was wondering if anyone has done a type-writing code or something
using character set 176/177/178 before?

if so, wanna explain how you would go about doing so?

a what? please elaborate...

there is something called chr that outputs symbols...

put chr (177)

this outputs the plus or minus symbol I believe...

Well (176-78 are bars ) 

Ill try it out, and post my results, so you can understand what i mean better.

Edit

Well i cant find the proper chr, ill have to run through afew of them i suppose, my textbook is wrong.

Found out that im not looking for chr ( not ASCII values returned by getch) The Turing Character Set
1= Smiley Emoticon
2= Circle
3= Heart
Etc Etc 
176/177/178 = Bar ||

Anyway im guessing the code would look like this. X meaing the bar chr

put chr (X)
delay (20)
put " B"
put chr (X)
delay (20)
put " L "
put chr (X)
delay (20)
put " A "
put chr (X)
delay (20)
put " H "
put chr (X)


you get the idea, maybe there is an easier way to do it, i dont know.
It should give it the effect of the bar being infront of the letter before you type it?

Im having trouble explaining it, as you surely see.

put chr (X)..
delay (20) 
put " B"..
put chr (X).. 
delay (20) 
put " L ".. 
put chr (X).. 
delay (20) 
put " A ".. 
put chr (X).. 
delay (20) 
put " H ".. 
put chr (X) 


and thus it is done.

i'm not quite sure i understand what you're asking. but if you're asking for the character code for "|", it's 124. so, put chr(124) will output "|"
