SUBROUTINE RMPEN

       RMPEN is called by  NEWPEN to change the hardware line type and/or width of the plotting line for subsequent plotting on the Ramtek. It may be called separately to change only the Ramtek line type. Metafile and terminal output device line types may be changed using PPEN and VPEN, respectively. While the Ramtek output device supports line types and type scale factors (the length of the linetype dot/dash pattern) it does not support line widths in hardware. The default line type is a solid line of width 1 dot.

CALL RMPEN (i)

i     (I): selects a line type for all additional plotting
           to the LONGLIB Ramtek
           < 0 : resets line type to solid line of unit width.
           = 0 : no change
           > 0 : line type and width changed according to,
   (1's digit)   : line type (1-9) (if 0, no change in line type)
   (10's digit)  : line width (0-7) (ignored)
   (100's digit) : line type pattern scaling (1-7) (0 is no change)
