Intelligent Interface and ASCII-Codes

[c-k]

Hello,
I've a weired problem creating some characters in lyric using intelligent interface W-Command. I'm trying to explain:
When sending e.g. a W\#\##\word »another« word\\
the « won't be visible, as it is interpreted as a font color (4) and so, everything following it will be in an other color. The color problem may be solved by giving color 4 the same as the current, but how to create the «?
with U\*\.... it works, but when lyric has to write something to disk it uses the old-school-max keyboard codes.
so i tried the old alternate-character-way preceding a <027> and then sending an ";" - but this also doesn't work. (there just comes ";" and ":" ...)
so it's somehow backward-compatible, but not compatible to the windows-ascii-codes ... :(
what to do? :confused:
please help (and forgive my sluggish english)!


thx a lot!
c-k

There are a number of special characters codes for Intelligent Interface, including the color codes (decimal 168 - 174) and fonts codes (168 - 174).

To override these codes and access a character associated with a particular ASCII code you will need to use the ALT character mapping built into intelligent interface.

For "»" you need to send the ALT code (decimal 207) followed by "Z" (decimal 90). For "«" you need to send the ALT code followed by ">" (decimal 62).

A diagram of the ALT character mappings can be found in the Infinit Operators manual section 18, page 25 (available on the Chyron Web site under Support - Documentation - Infinit family)
