I'd like to convert a cbm basic program to one that works on XT's - ie to gwbasic or Quickbasic. The cbm version has some sections that print to the screen, and the user has the option to print a hard copy. The program (cbm version) has a line like open4,4: cmd 4 : gosub 2500 : print#4 :close 4 to accomplish this. The effect of "cmd 4" is to redirect all screen output to the printer (device 4) untile the file is closed. I can't seem to find the equivalent of "cmd 4" in my GW-Basic manual. Any suggestions - (other than rewrite large parts of the program!)?
