I am having difficulty using the super/subscript capabilities of my
word-processing package (EasyWriter II), and I believe the problem is really
with my C.ITOH Prowriter printer.  After fairly exhaustive experimentation,
I find no way to make it perform a linefeed unless it also performs a carriage
return.  My question: is this an inherent printer limitation, or is there some
way to get around this?  Thanks in advance.

concerning Prowriter superscript problem:

It's not your printer -- mine works fine for super- and subscripts
under WordStar.  I suspect you've got a DIP switch set wrong, 
probably the auto line feed switch.

I don't know if easywriter is smart enough to cope with a 
printer set up for half line feeds, but if so you can
make the Prowriter work this way by sending it an escape
sequence to change the carriage advance increment and then
doing *two* linefeeds after each  except when super-
or subscripting.

Best of luck,
