Bill: When you say that your editor doesn't support tabs, I assume that what you mean is that the editor won't send the tab init string to your printer. For this, you'll probably have to multitask and send it in background, or (if the editor resets the printer immediately prior to printing) imbed the string at the beginning of your text. If you don't want to imbed the text, how about considering just editing your text (using tabs normally) and then saving it, and printing it by typing something like: type setup.txt to par: type myletter.txt to prt: This will probably work, although if your printer-driver resets tabs when it inits, you may have to send the setup file twice. The "setup" should contain the string to set the tabs at the stops that the editor uses. I have a small setup file for tabs every 5 chars up thru 80 if you'd like to see it. I could EMAIL it to you, just let me know. Ariel
