User-defined character command is used to draw characters of
E a c h segment of character is drawn according

to three parameter values as follows:
P e n control parameter +99 = pen down
P e n control parameter -99 = pen up
X-Increment specifies number of character grid units that pen
P o s i t i v e value moves pen to right and
will move horizontally.
negative value moves it to left. Increment value can range
from -98 thru +98 grid units.
Y-Increment specifies number of character grid units that pen
P o s i t i v e value moves pen up and
will move vertically.
Increment value can range from
negative value moves it down.
-98 thru +98 grid units.
Character grid units are scaled by current size statement.
Each character block contains 6 horizontal grid units and 16
vertical grid units.
Each character starts from character block origin point. When
character is completed, "LF" is sent automatically by WRITE
statement at end of string of characters, returns pen to next
character block origin (six grid units from initial starting
point).
