So gave up on the big       idea        Some years later someone I knew got a All-In-One Printer/Scanner and told me it       cost around $300.00 USD.              And Yes I stmphaci              symphacise with You about Running BASIC code and the program needing editing.              I remember when the stores has TI 99/44.       I played with one once to find out to get IT to print my name I had to press a       Function Key with the p key for my name to appear on the monitor screen.       Ed       --- SBBSecho 3.28-Linux        * Origin: Capitol City Online (1:2320/105)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/14 305 153/7715 154/110 218/700       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 134 206 300 307 317 426 428 470       SEEN-BY: 229/664 700 705 291/111 292/854 320/219 322/757 396/45 460/58       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848 902/26 2320/0 105 107 304 5020/400 5075/35       PATH: 2320/105 229/426           |
