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.
