[GreenKeys] FIGS "D" & ITA#2 on the M32

[Chuck Swiger]

Gang -
	
	Is this normal ?  Every key on the M32 will punch the same
character on tape whether the machine is in FIGS or LTRS, i.e.,
hit LTRS, "A" and get oo.xxx  (o = hole, . = sprocket, x = no hole),
then hit FIGS, "A" and still get oo.xxx.  The printer prints either A or
- depending on whether it's in LTRS or FIGS as expected. Every
letter prints the same code on tape whether in LTRS or FIGS EXCEPT
FOR D.   In LTRS D punches ox.xox, but when in FIGS, D punches the
FIGS character, oo.xoo. The printer produces D or + ok. What's so
special about D?   On my keyboard  the shift-D symbol is a big fat plus
sign, almost a square with little notches in the corners. It's a Western
Union surplus M32.

	I spent all yesterday getting the computer setup to edit and punch
long program tapes for my relay computer, and everything worked as expected
except for the above anomaly.
