Subj: HELP
Richard: Thanks for your helpful suggestions re: italicizing. Short of downloading T-Word, I think I've found another way -- simply by referring to my 102 and printer manuals. I can do underlining by embedding the ASCII Codes (I hope I'm using the correct terminology here) CTRL 0 to start and then CTRL N to stop. Unfortunately, though, I can't seem to do the same with italics. My printer manual says that I can begin italics with decimal Code 27 or 66; 27 translates into ESC, and 66 into B, so what I tried to do was hit CTRL P and then ESC -- but, alas, to no avail. Also, I can't find a code listed to end italics (other than to "select standard character, which is again a 27). Also, I should point out that I'm not so much interested in affecting my printer as I am embedding these codes so that when I transmit copy via modem it'll show up on the receiving computer the way I want it to (i.e., with italics, etc.). I was able to get the paragraphing to do this, following Robert's suggestion to embed a CTRL P and then a CTRL J. Any ideas?
