The Question is:
using dcps 1.7 and ln16 and ln17 declaser printers. Need to know what the
escape sequences for the registered trademark are. So far no one from compaq,
genicom has been able to help...can you i am running an alpha vms 2100 open
vms system with open vms 6.
2 and dcps 1.7
The Answer is :
Based on the DCPS reference, this is a question of printers and
the Postscript language, and not particularly of escape or control
sequences.
Postscript printers support fonts that contain the registered
trademark character, and the character translation is usually
provided by the application that is generating the Postscript
file.
For details on the Postscript language itself, please see the
available Adobe Postscript documentation. (The Postscript
language keyword for the trademark character is /trademark.)
Using typical ISO Latin 1 terminals and (proper) terminal
emulator packages such as the DECwindows DECterm, you can
explicitly generate the registered trademark character using
the compose sequence "RO". (Press the compose key, then RO.)
As for questions specific to fonts and escape and control
sequences, the ISO Latin 1 supplemental graphic character set
has the registered trademark character in position 174 decimal.
This is a character, not a control sequence. To use a control
sequence to select ISO Latin 1 as the G3 character set, use
[esc]+A to selects ISO Latin 1 as G3, and then SS3 (<esc>O)
to single-shift to select the next character as being from
the G3 character set. With 174 in the next character position
after the single-shift, you get the registered trademark
character in the file.
