The two problems are really the same thing.

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.
