Under VMS, it will do the correct thing for a cntl/M, but under UNIX, it does not go back to the beginning of the line. It generally doesn't move the cursor at all, in fact, so underlining looks like Underline This _________ ____ Other times, (not sent with LPR/LPD) though, it looks like: Underline This ( <--Underline characters on following line in this case) _________ ____ Anyone know why, or how to correct this? (first guess...driver doesn't like naked cntl/m, so LPR/LPD doesn't allow them?) Andy Gideon gideon@score.arpa -------

I checked things out here. Sending a file as you described causes the line to be underlined correctly. We are running a different lp driver which leaves all the formatting up to lpd (which does it anyway, so why should the driver do any extra work?). Check your lp driver. Oh yeah, we are running 4.2bsd. ---- (Bug? What bug? That's a feature!) Dave Cohrs ...!{allegra,heurikon,ihnp4,seismo,uwm-evax}!uwvax!dave dave@wisc-rsch.arpa
