Therefore, to draw the graphic, we use:
VDU23,240,56,56,56,16,124,16,40,68
PRINT CHR$(240)

We assigned ASCII code number "240" to use the custom 8-bit graphic and 
used PRINT CHR$(240) to display it. However, once a character is
assigned, you can simply just use VDU240 to print the character if you 
need it on the same line. Hence:

    VDU240:VDU240:VDU240:VDU240
    
...would print four people on the same line. The ":" is used to put
code statements together on the same line. Doing this makes it harder to
read as more code is added but saves memory.

You can also place up to 160 characters worth of VDU23's on the same
line like so:

    VDU23,240,56,56,56,16,124,16,40,68,23,241,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1
    
...Notice the 23 after the 10th comma? That is the VDU"23" part starting
over again but for ASCII code character "241" with "1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1" as
the 8-bit customization part. Jamming as much as you can on the same
line without spaces will save you lots of memory in the long run.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

For most BBC Microcomputers, the ASCII codes 224-255 are undefined so 
that they can be customized. However, you cannot print any custom ASCII
characters while in MODE7.

If you need to move the customized character around, you can either use

    PRINT TAB(10,10) CHR$(240)
    
        or
        
    VDU31,10,10:VDU240
    
VDU31,[Row],[Column] is the same as using PRINT TAB([Row],[Column]) but
has the advantage of using fewer characters and therefore saves memory.
Remember, most BBC Micros only have 32K of RAM to work with and the 
chosen MODE takes up part of that on top of which, you can only have
160 characters per line of code.
