Ordinarily when you type pages in a foreign language, you go back
and laboriously add accent marks, cedillas, and other diacritical marks
by hand. You are spared that trouble with the ATARI 65XE Computer,
which has an international character set.
International characters are available when you use ATARI BASIC. The
diagram below shows the international characters that are associated
with the letter keys. To activate the international characters, type the
statement below and press the key:

ternational character instead of a graphics character. To return to the
graphics character mode and normal keyboard utilities, type the
following line and press the key:
