= Notes =
* According to soft968 the official language variants are: English, Spanish, French and Danish. And, presumably, English was official, too. 
* Although french/danish charsets don't support "|", even newer user manuals (like french cpc+ manual from 1990) still refer to RSX commands as "|CPM" and describe to press shift+"@" to get the "|".
