Just received GS-Basic and have a slight problem. While I figured out the way to dump a listing to the printer, the .PRINTER device auto-linefeeds and so does the setting for the printer port resulting in double-spaced output. How do I get the ASSIGN function to correct this? Either post the reply to the net or send mail to : .....crash!pro-connection.cts.com!bfox Thanks in advance----Barry Fox PROLINE: pro-connection!bfox UUCP: ......!crash!pro-connection!bfox ARPA: crash!pro-connection!bfox@nosc.mil INET: bfox@pro-connection.cts.com

Well here is the solution to getting the printer to single space in GSBASIC ASSIGN .PRINTER,-1:ASSIGN .PRINTER,1 then the normal print command for listing etc advice put it in an exe file as line 1 OPEN .PRINTER,AS #1:OUTREC=96:OUTPUT #1:LIST:OUTPUT #0:OUTREC=80:CLOSE #9 IN A PROGRAM OR EXE FILE PUT " AROUND THE .PRINTER OR IT WILL GIVE YOU A SYNTAX ERROR
