- Wild guess over here (there is a similar problem in NB 3.0 - Shapirit - which
- I use). Check what printer table is loaded. If it's the NB table, direction
- changes wan't work. You need an SLS (or Lingua) printer table.
- Check to see NB 4.0 has separate printer tables for NB and Lingua. I'd guess
- there is.
