Some of the sequences I am trying to decipher are: \EL \ED \EB \EC \EJ \ER \EG (\E means escape, incase you were wondering.) If you have information on the IDS Prism printers, I would much appreciate an explanation of the control sequences used. I am trying to define a print- cap file for a C. Itoh Prowriter connected to a Fortune 32:16 system, and am using the IDS printcap as a guide. I have met with significant success, except in the proportional print mode. Understanding of the sequences used by the IDS printer will most likely unravel the remaining mysteries. Thanks much, in advance. Bill Gieske AT&T Bell Laboratories Allentown, PA phone: X5137
