As Bill Buckner [should've] said, "'lil help, please"… I'm trying to send printer codes to my printer in a 'C' program. Before you ask, the printer codes work fine when I send them via " copy * to prt: " And I'm able to use my printer in my program with no problems (I opened "prt:" as a file…). But I can't seem to get any of the printer codes to work. Could someone please leave me a little code segment showing how to, for instance, send the UNDERLINE code to the printer device ( that's ESC [ 4 m ). I'll be eternally grateful! Happy New Year, John
