Miscellaneous Commands
FB Suppress all occurrences of up to 15 different characters, starting at the current cursor position,
as the cursor is advanced by other commands. When the FC command is encountered, the sup-

. .zz where nn is a count of the number of suppressed characters in the list and xxyy .. zz is the
