This problem of loss of the first few characters also occurs with some 80 column cards and also the BASIS 108. The reason is that as the screen scrolls after a new line at the bottom, a few characters get lost. Often the first character is received and repeated, with the 2nd and a few more chars lost. The solution for screen problems is to tell UNIX to do a stty nl2 You may need to do a stty cr2 for the printer. Peter Harrison
