Certain
print
wheels provide
characters
with
accents
al-
ready in
place.
The
Cat
uses
such characters
ifpossible;
otherwise
it
prints
the
accent
character, then
prints
the
character
to be accented
at
the same
location
bv
overstrik-
ing.
When you type an
accent,
it
appears
as
a
bare
accent
character on the
screen
(bare
means
"all
by
itself').
The
next
character
you type
will
appear at the
same
location,
under the
accent character,
providing
you do not
type
another
accent.
If
you
type
two
accents
in
a
row,
the
text
will
contain two
bare accent
characters. The
second
accent
will
appear
over
the
third
character you type,
providing
the
third
character
is not
an accent.
If
the cursor
is
narrow and positioned on
a
bare
accent
character,
and
you
type
a
characterother
than
an
accent,
the
accent and character
will
combine
to form
an
accented
character. This is slightly
unusual
for
the cursor, which
usually
pushes
the
character
under
the n:urow
cursor
forward
when
you
type.
If
you
type
an
accent character
and
move
the
cursor away
from it.
the bare accent
character remains alone in
the
text.
Adding Text in
Boldface
or Underlined
Areas
When you type in
the
middle
of
an
underlined
or
boldfaced
part
ofthe
text,
the
characters you type take
on the
style
of
the
surrounding characters.
Forexample,
if
you type in the
middle
of
aboldface
word,
whatyou
type
will
alsobe
bold.
The
cursor must have
bold
or
underlined
characters on
both
sides
of
it
for newly
typed characters
to
take
on
the
bold
or
underline
appearance.
If
bold
or
underlined
text is
only
on
one side
of
the
cursor,
the
newly
typed text
will
be
plain.
A dotted underline
appears
undercharacters resulting
from
calculations.
If
you type in
the
middle
of
text with
a
dotted
underline, the
newly
typed
text
will
also be underlined.
This
ensures
that any change
you
make
in
the
middle of
a
mathematical expression
will
automatically
be
included
in
further
calculations.
Typing in
the
middle of
capitalized text is not automati-
cally
capitalized,
unless
you
have pressed
[LOCK].
The LOCK Key
Pressing
[LOCK]
makes the Cat behave
as
if
[SHIFT]
were
being
held
down.
A
light
in
the
[LOCK]
keycap comes
on
when the keyboard is
locked.
Note that when
[LOCK] is
engaged,
you
can
type
only
the
uppercase symbols on the
numeral
kevs.
