Yup, right.  A previous poster mentioned red/black printing.  Our Flexowriters
did only black.  You mentioned a right arrow, our Flexowriters did not have it.
If I remember right the code generated by our Flexowriters was called
Flexowriter-EL.  Similarly we had IBM 029 punches that generated 029-EL.
Here EL stands for Electrologica, the make of the computer we were using.
Both codes were Electrologica variants of the standard codes.
