Previously, it had the underscore hard-wired in. It now looks up the string defined in the terminal table for underscore and uses that. The underscore string for the Sanders has been redefined as "begin underline, space, end underline". This combination has resulted in much better under- lining on the Sanders printer. -- David Trueman @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!david
