Summary
Puts Arbortext APP into a special mode such that every character typed into a text stream from the keyboard can be prefixed by another fixed character. It was particularly designed for use with the PI shift characters, hence the name of the macro. It can however, be used with any character (the space character can be useful).
Example extract

The example below shows ttpi used to prefix every character with a #138 hash character (to send the next character to the tfx +1 shift character):

 ttpi 138

Syntax (SVNNA)
Ø:n

Turns the pi character off.

prefix_char_code:n

The hash code of the character to prefix other characters with or the character itself within single quote marks.

Example

The macro below prefixes every character typed with a space:

 ttpi 32
Example

The macro below prefixes every character with an 'a':

 ttpi 'a'
