That may be a simple direct solution. The use of the character string "^P" will probably not work since the interpretation for ^P is done in the BDOS, and the CCP (ZCPR is what I tested against) reads the $$$.SUB file from disk and the control character doesn't pass thru the BDOS input routine, and, hence, is not interpreted. Aside from using a directory utility which gives you printer output, an alternative is to implement as one of the redirectable I/O devices a special device driver which provides console input and console/printer output in parallel. Then, by simply running STAT to select the new device, you turn on the printer for all output to the screen, and you can run STAT again when you are done to turn off the printer. I am using redirect- able I/O to perform a similar function in which the device tied to my console is a second microcomputer, and I can send all screen displays to disk in this way. Rick
