I have an Apple //gs with an ImageWriter II hooked into the printer serial port. Everyone knows that BASIC programs have lines that extend beyond 80 characters. Well, is there any way I can get the printer to print them on separate lines? Whenever you do a "pr#1" and type "list" every line that extends beyond 80 columns is really screwed. It prints the first 80 characters just fine, but after that it never CR and prints the rest of the line on the same line giving you unreadable text. It only linefeeds when it reaches the end of that particular line. Is there a special control panel setting or a program that will allow me to do this? Thanks in advance.

I had this problem on a apple //e and a imagewriter I printer. Make sure first that you are in 40 column mode, then issue a pr#1 and type "list" everything should be fine. For some odd reason this does not work in 80 col mode for me. -- matthew +------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+ | Internet: matthew@pro-nka.cts.com | Pro-Nka : 201-944-3102 : 9600/v32/v42 | | uucp: crash!pro-nka!matthew | Leonia, New Jersey Intel 9600EX | | | | | All thoughts are mine.

Well, try setting that to 80, instead of unlimited. That SHOULD do the trick. - Ben

Another way to get a proper listing printout would be, to set the IW II into 80 chars/line mode by: PRINT CHR$(4)"PR#n" : PRINT CHR$(9)"80N" : LIST : PRINT CHR$(4)"PR#0" ...that's just the old well known ctrl.i 80 N (as in AppleWorks e.g.) KRS
