entering the L/F character in a text editor

Post by Wyatt_Irk »

i would like to use the “L/F” character but can’t figure out how to do so. i tried adding the command in free42 in program mode, then copying that line and pasting into the text editor, but only got “[LF]”, which doesn’t translate properly when going from the text editor to free42. Does anyone have a work-around?

That's odd, "[LF]" is supposed to get translated to the LF character (code 10) when you paste it into Free42...
