I don't know about the problem you mentioned, but we have had a
problem with text rotation on our Sun 3/50's.  The funny thing is,
the same code works great on the 4/110.  Instead of roating an entire
line of text, the sun 3/50 rotates only single characters, making them
look like they are dancing.  Anyone else noticed this problem?
