The TRS80 puts ONLY a Carriage RETURN at the end of each line. Carriage return is CHR$(13) in BASIC. You need to have it add a LINE FEED which is CHR$(10).... Example: 10 PRINT"HELP":PRINTCHR$(10); 20 PRINT"PLEASE":PRINTCHR$(10); This should do what you wanted. A better soluition is to write a little driver that adds a LF anytime the printer sees a CR. If you have LDOS on your MODEL III, look at the dox for PR/FLT and use that. I believe the 779 does not do lowercase, but I am not sure of that. -- Stan uucp:{ihnp4!shell,rice}!neuro1!sob Opinions expressed Olan ARPA:sob@rice.arpa here are ONLY mine & Barber CIS:71565,623 BBS:(713)660-9262 noone else's.
