- Greg, I don't know about 'Fast Fix' but there are several utilities around
- that turn off the key click for you. My favorite fix is to turn the monitor
- volume down. :)

- Ref the screen dump, if your printer is only dumping about 2/3 of your screen,
- then odds are your pixels per line setting in the Instal Printer modulue of
- the control panel accessory are wrong. For Epson compatible printers, the
- setting should be 760 pixels per line, not 1280 which is the Atari default.
- I think these are the right numbers but at any rate, try the lower setting
- and then don't forget to save the desktop.inf file.
