Description

By means of this code sequence the characters of the subsequent text are specified with
double height.

ESC w followed by n=1 (hex.01 or hex.31) sets double height printing. To reset the
double height to the normal height, specify n=0 (hex.00 oder hex.30).
The line spacing is not altered. This command cannot be combined with superscript/sub-
script or condensed print commands.

ESC w with parameter n=0 (hex.00 or hex.30) resets character representation back to
normal character height.

Example

30 LPRINT "Headlines ";
40 LPRINT CHR$(27);"w";CHR$(0);
