That sounds like "screen-codes". On CBM computers, screen-codes are
different from the code-numbers that are used by programs, in their text
strings. Are screen text and program strings the same or different in the
Apple II family of computers?
What Uz needs to know is: what is created when Apple BASIC interprets
these statements?
10 u$="ABCD1234+-()"
20 d$="abcd[]{}~"
What happens to the numbers when those strings are printed to the screen,
or written into a file? What does GET A$ see when those characters are
typed on the keyboard?
