I've tried both of these programs on my Kaypro IV and came up with a
problem with both. When the print toggle is activated it starts
dropping a lot of characters. Has anyone been able to solve this
problem?

	Your problem stems from the BIOS in the Kaypro not
implementing the List Status call properly. There has been
considerable discussion on this in the past; few programs use the
status call because more than a few BIOS authors have been remiss in
not including same.
	There are probably several solutions depending on your
expertise. You might patch it yourself, go to the Kaypro Sig on
Compuserve and ask for a patch, etc.
