   C128 Character Sets and Graphic Modes -

   From: paul.s.macmillan@gmail.com   
      
   If I run the following in immediate mode in GRAPHIC 0 mode, I see exactly what   
   I expect to see based on the chart of page 358 of the Commodore 128 System   
   Guide   
      
   CHAR ,0,0,CHR$(111)   
      
   (a right-angle corner character, as in the top-left of a box)   
      
   But if I am in GRAPHIC 1 mode and run the same line of code, I get a different   
   character (a diagonal line). In fact it's CHR$(143) in GRAPHIC 1 mode that   
   yields the same character.   
      
   How can I understand this difference?   
      
   Thanks!
