- The HyperTalk print command always does a form feed after printing. I
- need to write an XCMD that will control the printer at a lower level so I
- can send a line of text and a carriage return so the paper doesn't form
- feed out. I tried a PtCtlCall() with text streaming and control calls
- just as it demonstrates in the online Think Reference, but it doesn't
- seem to work. Does HyperCard disallow this, or is there something more I
- need to do to send lower level print controls?
