Questions regarding HP Roman character set

[Chris Dreher]

FYI, I still have my HP 48SX manuals, if that is of any help.

Page 609 talks about how characters are mapped with the 82240A printer. It is clear about what characters are unavailable on the 82240A but is then vague about which HP48 characters need remapping via the OLDPRT command (probably because HP's OLDPRT code handles it for the user).

Pages 626 and 694 talk about how characters 160-255 are ISO 8859 Latin 1. It's interesting they don't mention the slight deviations they took in the ASCII range (0-127). Pages 627 and 695-696 have the character tables. Page 627 includes the translation escape codes such as \<), \<<, and \PI.

Some of this might not directly apply to the Wikipedia article, but I figured it might be interesting.
