Does anyone know why when I use my apple lle with apple works
and try to print on my ppanasonic kxp1091 iget a few garbage charecters
at the begining of the first line?????

Also does anyone know if it is possible to print more than one copy of something
with the applewriter lle by giving only one command ????

--------Yes, it is.  Use the WPL that is a part of applewriter to create a
WPL program that asks you for the name of the file you want to print and
how many copies you want printed, and then does it.  It isn't difficult to
do but I don't remember how off the top of my head.
  If you have problems, send me a note and I'll look it up and respond.

For the second your second question I wrote a simple program in WPL which
could be usefull. You could arrange it as you like:

	PPD0
	PND
	PPR^L          ^L means you shoul insert a real control L
	PPR
	PPR 	File to be printed in drive 1. If different specify
	NY
	PPR
	PIN	File name : =$B
	PPR
	PIN	How many times (0-65535) : =$A
	PPR
	PIN	Printer slot : =$C
	PSX	$A
	PSY	$Y
	PLM0
	PRM79
	PTM0
	PBM0
	PPL66
	PPI66
	PPM0
	L	$B
	PPD (Y)
LOOP	B
	PNP
	PSX -1
	PGO	LOOP
	PSX 10
	PPD0
	PPR^L
QUIT	PPR
	PSX -1
	PGO	QUIT
	PIN	The end. Press RETURN to continue
       
To use it you have to save what you you want to print, then supposing that
the WPL program would call foo,
	
	- you type:		^P
	- you have the prompt: 	print:
	- you type:             do foo

Have fun.
